Argentina’s Supreme Court has found dozens of boxes filled with Nazi material among its archives in its basement.

The 83 boxes hold documents including postcards, photographs and notebooks, as well as propaganda material, the court said on Sunday.

Court employees discovered the material by chance while preparing for the creation of a museum.

“Upon opening one of the boxes, we identified material intended to consolidate and propagate Adolf Hitler’s ideology in Argentina during the Second World War,” the court said.

        That’s so epic. Imagine thinking you’d gotten away with it, and you hear Saruman asking after your old name at the front door.

        They - failed Dr. Josef Mengele for instance lived out his life in Latin America working for the Mengele tractor company then drowned in a swimming accident.

        Christopher Lee must have been blind to miss the fact. Many of them didn’t even bother to change their names.
