My last post on what's threatening to become a derail, but there's no need to lecture me on any of that.
I'm in the middle of writing an academic book chapter on archaeologies of dictatorship and repression in South and Central America, and have worked as a consultant for both a University of Buenos Aires field project and a television programme on the Nazi site in Misiones.

And Mossad weren't remotely infallible when it came to finding prominent Nazis in South America. Eichmann's capture was the result of some very specific circumstances.
For what it's worth, the association between South America and fanatical 'Aryan' German ideologues with deeply unpleasant views on race drawing on a perversion of Nietzsche predates Nazism by decades:
