L’Argentine de Perón, pièce maîtresse de l’accueil des anciens nazis en Amérique latine

Between 1946 and 1952, under the two Peron presidencies, several thousands of former Nazis, including many notorious war criminals, arrived in Argentina. It is a whole bundle of causes that has made Argentina the centerpiece of the reception of former Nazis in Latin America. A traditional admiration for German expertise in military art as well as in industrial technologies. A developmental will. A lure of gain. Long-standing privileged personal relations between Peron and the Nazis. Ideological affinities and marked anti-Semitism. This dossier highlights the complexity of the links between Latin America and Europe from yesterday to today.
