The users unable to contain themselves without launching into Nazi-swastika-flamewar make it impossible for HN to discuss this at all.

The injustice aside, I wonder if Nazis fleeing German might have had the side effect of making German reconstruction easier while limiting those who fled into making chocolate in Bariloche under fake names.

But on the other hand there was Klaus Barbie.

is it weird to find them fascinating? I am a millenial and WW2 and its horror is something that I have learnt, but to meet survivors (of holocaust) and surviving items is very exciting.

It's weird to read "The haul provides more evidence of the presence of high-ranking Nazis in South America." I thought this was well-known?

These are historical artifacts now, right? Is it illegal in Argentina to own things like that? I can see the reasoning if so, just curious.

Is there anything sadder or creepier than an hourglass with a swastika on it? What a horrible time for humanity.
