Ruins of a structure discovered in northern Argentina are believed to have been a Nazi refuge, built by the Third Reich so its top members could hide out if the war was lost and Germany occupied.

Researchers are studying three buildings near the border with Paraguay.

Buenos Aires-based researchers discovered five Nazi German coins dating between 1937-1941 and a piece of porcelain bearing the “Made in Germany” watermark.

The purported hideout wasn’t really needed, as thousands of Nazis, Croatian and Italian fascists arrived in Argentina after WWII with the blessings of then “presidente” Juan Peron, who ruled over Argentina between 1946-1955.

As most will remember, one of the architects of the Holocaust, Adolf Eichmann, was arrested in 1960 by Israeli agents in Argentina and transported to Israel, where he was executed after a trial.

Other prominent Nazis escaped to Argentina, including Josef Mengele, Walter Kutschmann, Josef Swaberger, Josef Schwammberger and Wilfred Von Oven.
