    Lots of German immigrants in Argentina; Nazi Germany utilized German communities in other countries to spread their vile ideology, where possible.

    After WW2, there were also lots of German ‘immigrants’ to Argentina… though that later immigration wave has more to do with the fascist-sympathizing dictator in charge at the time.

      Many German immigrants came from the other side too, both before and after the war.

      Wouldn’t that make them refugees and not immigrants?

        Refugees are generally expected to return to their country of origin. The Nazis fleeing to Argentina had 0 chance or intention of returning to Allied-controlled Germany where many were wanted as war criminals.
