Over 80 crates of Nazi-era documents were found in Argentina’s Supreme Court basement during prep for a new museum. Hidden since 1941, the materials include propaganda, photos, and Nazi party records. Originally seized by customs, the shipment came via a Japanese ship from Germany’s Tokyo embassy. Experts are now cataloging the archive, which may shed light on Nazi influence in South America and postwar networks. The find revives focus on Argentina’s role in harboring Nazi fugitives after WWII.
