After World War II, thousands of Nazis fled to South America along so-called ratlines — often with the help of Catholic clergy. The Vatican is now opening its archives from the time. Will it be a moment of truth?

I've got a lovely German style beer stein that was "handcrafted in Brazil," in 1978.
Now why would there be a bunch of nostalgic Germans in Brazil in the '70s? Hmm...
tbh many fled to South Anerica because there were many German immigrants already there, meaning the Nazis didn't stand out.
Also a lot of Jews fleeing the Nazis ended up in South America. My grandparents, for example.
