What Actually Happened to Nazi Leaders After World War 2? 

Argentinian kid: Grandpa, have you been to Germany? Grandpa: Nein

"Never ask a lady her age and an Argentinian his Grandfather's SS rank"

That old German joke that says "Turns out grandpa was an electrician, we found his helmet with lightning bolts painted on the sides."

We learned my grandfather was in the Waffen SS when we did Ancestry DNA and we found relatives in Germany. They had all his military service records and uniforms. He was buried in the port City of Barranquila,Colombia which has a German WW2 cemetery from those that passed. The Colombian military buried him with military honors ironically the ceremonial units have Prussian uniforms, he served in the Korean War with the Colombian Army and fought alongside Americans at the Battle of Old Baldy against the Chinese. We are still doing research and plan on having a family reunion with our German family.

I was always of the understanding they became zombies

Never ask woman her weight. Never ask man his salary. Never ask Argentinian Abuelo his SS rank.

Crazy how such a massive amount of history was only 80 years ago, such innovation in technology as well

The irony of having a soviet character talking about atrocities lol

To Argentina everyone knows this, my Great Grandfather Heinreich told me.

US: you will face justice ⚖ for your crime German scientists: I make nukes you know US:welcome to the family 🤗

When I was in middle school I had a psychologist who was an old Argentine lady whose last name was Mueller. It now makes sense when I told her that I was learning about WWII that she didn’t wanna elaborate after I told her how interested I was in the topic at school

This was an IMPRESSIVE infographics show. Well researched and not generic!

All I've learned from these comments is that Argentina is full of blonde haired blue eyed people.

This video enraged Adolf's father, who punished him severely.

I know a 96 year old neighbor back in Mante , Tamaulipas , Mexico. He flew from Germany all the way here and made a life and has like 7 kids and like 20 grandchildren

I remember in History class, an Allied soldier and an Axis soldier came to speak to us. There was no animosity. They just woke of what they saw.

When I lived in southern Africa I knew a guy who told me his father used to be in the German military in the 1940s, and moved to the continent after WW2 was over, married a local and had him. Later on it hit me what he meant 🤯. So yeah, people who were Nazis scattered everywhere after the War, not just to Europe and South America.

Imagine a Grandparents day in Argentina and the Grandparents go to their Grandchildren’s school and see all there Nazis Comrades, It would be very awkward.

Fun fact (maybe not that much): Josef Mengele died in 1979 drowned on Bertioga beach, this beach is a 45 minutes to 1 hour trip from my hometown, one of the best doctors from my hometown was responsible for Josef's autopsy and later the same doctor would make a corpus delicti on my mother which was really great since his credibility took a big role on the trials that my mother participated

Every time I watch one of these videos, I feel like I learn so much yet nothing at all

Josef Mengele was NOT mad - illustrating his as a screaming lunatic only serves to diminish how evil he was. Evil, not mad.

When that aregntinian boy grows up to have blonde hair and blue eyes: His Father: "Son we need to talk"

When I was in highschool,a survivor of Auschwitz came to my class and spoke to us. I will never forget it. My seat was right up front,and very close to the man. I remember how haunting,his number tattoo was. I will never understand,how people could do this to other people.😭

Fun fact: One head of state of an Axis country from World War II is still alive. Tsar Simeon II of Bulgaria. His reign lasted from 1943 to 1946, until he was deposed by the communists. Of course he was just a kid back then, but still: he was the tsar.

It’s awesome how these people never cease to find things to talk about Edit: just came back! Wow thanks for blowing this up! :D

Things to never do to men: 1. Ask his salary 2.say "ew" when rejecting 3. Reject from art school

What a gamut of wide information and research! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world 👏 👏

You know, I find it funny that a russian office says that about germans concentration camps, while they have gulags that do almost the same thing. Just incredible.

"The Space Race" or "When US German scientists and Soviet German scientists took turns at thumbing their noses at each other..."

Tourist asking a Grandpa: "Eres de Argentina?" Grandpa: "nein!!!"

Great content, as always.

Fun fact: There are 525,600 minutes in a year, 85,000,000 died in WWII, if we held a minute of silence for EVER person that died in WWII, we'd we silent for 162 years, yes, I've done the math

I am a native German speaker and find the pronunciation of the German names HILARIOUS... GOBBLES!

"some would never see justice at all" more like most

Love your videos!

Does anyone else find it a bit idiotic to show rows and rows of coffins with large Christian crosses on them to represent the Holocaust?

laughs in "MY GRANDPA WORK IN THE NEW STABLISHED NASA" as scientist

It’s the stuff you never get taught in history

I know their going after monsters, but love how a lot of countries dabbled in stuff like making people disappear and nabbing them off the streets, almost like the people they were hunting did.

You speak really clearly great job!

(To America & south America) History is written by the winner so we will never know the truth

Strangely, only germans were put on trials for warcrimes, everyone else got a free pass

This stuff is so fascinating

7:01 I highly recommend anyone here read his book called the sunflower. It provides a lot of insight into his story and mindset.

Its funny how the world screamd concentration camps but no one looked at Stalin's gulags.

Four places where they went - 1) the Moon 2) Antarctica through a tunnel to Hollow Earth 3) Argentina 4) extradimensional portal whose energies and radiation turned them into zombies

your videos are great

There was actually a suspected German war criminal where I live but he claimed he was a translator agents his will. But the unit he was with had committed so many war crimes the government was considering deporting him but he died before be could

One Japanese general worked in one of high positions within either police or even the government,even tho the guy along with Masaharu Homma killed prisoners from the Bataan death march,I heard

Himmler actualy wasn't forced to reveal himself and would have gotten away,but he thout that he would get a reduced sentence if he turned himself in.

So basically you catch a criminal , arrest him , ask him to teach you how to become a criminal, use criminal techniques , become a criminal

Not only Argentina, also Brazil, United States, Uruguay, and Paraguay to name a few.

Like the Russian soldier saying "Terrible things happened here" We all know Stalin was like: "Dude take notes of this we can use this on our own people"

The infographics show always has so many topics. 👏🏽👏🏽

5:13, Wernher von Braun invented the famous V2 rocket. That was the world's first ballistic rocket. After the war, he designed the Saturn V rocket and was the lead engineer of the Apollo program. Travel to the moon had possible thanks to his presence and his studies.

Martin Borman died in Paraguay in 1959. His remains showed up in Germany in 1972. He has a grave in a small village in Paraguay which is missing a body

They went on to help Coco Chanel build her empire.

When I was a bit younger me and my mother were in chile (btw we are Chilean) and I asked my mother were did all the Nazi's go to after ww2 she said that there are some here in Chile and Argentina those are the best places but there are also a lot of people who ran away from the Nazi's and fled here

Both of my parents served in WW2; my mum in the WRENS and my dad in the Merchant Navy. Neither ever referred to the enemy as Nazis; they called them Germans. I mean to say, nobody said, 'The Coalition' when they wrote about my country in the war, did they? This tendency to direct blame on to one political party is dishonest and misleading. Let's tell it as it actually was.

9:40 there is a whole movie on this man, Operation Finale, released in 2018. it is now on Netflix. HIGHLY RECCOMEND watching!

To those who don't know, the Roma are "Gypsies," though this term is no longer politically correct.

You know you're dead when the axis AND the allies are hunting you down

Albert Speer avoided the death penalty because he was the only one at the trials that took responsibility for his crimes and showed remorse.

Grew up two doors down from German WWII veteran. Accoss the street an American WWII veteran. They were best friends my entire childhood. Asked them "Why?", when i was eleven. "We were soldiers doing what we were told."

Short answer: Some were convicted, others escaped and went into hiding, and some killed themselves. And a lot served jail time. The major ones were hung for their crimes.

My grandfather who was a an RAF chef catered for the British officers at the Nuremburg trials

Ayyy almost of 10 mill subs!!!

I love his voice for this type of video, he sounds like rod sterling from the twilight zone intros

My grandfather came to the US after the war, he said many Nazis fled to Argentina, Canada, and South America. He never met Adolf, but he was an SS officer

Never ask woman her weight. Never ask man his salary. Never ask The Infographics show who are their animators. Original inspiration:Mateja Lukac

Fun fact: some Germans who fought in ww1 and lived, kept using picklehaulbes (pointed helmets).

Many ranking military leaders were deals to live some place else before the war ended for different reasons. Some was because they were scientists and were gold mines of information. Others gave intelligence. Some it was so soldiers on the front line would feel abandoned. It was a necessary evil . Probably saved many allied lives

Please keep doing world war 1 and 2 videos I love these ones

Argentinian kid: "Abu, you said for generations, our family has been raised and born here right?" Grandpa: "of course, why did you ask?!" Argentinian kid: "Just wondering why most of us in the family have blue eyes and blond"

I like these WW2 backstories.

Von Braun worked on the logistics and space technology of 2001 A Space Odyssey too

They moved to America to continue working on weapons development. A lot of the technology developed during the Cold War with USSR was by European immigrants especially those who were former Nazis.

"If i didn't follow orders i would be a traitor, a shame for the Fatherland. After I did, i was nothing but a criminal , a shame to humanity" - me for Jakiw palij

I had a friend from my college who was part Argentinian, he also had a German great grandfather.

I have No words..

They’re living among us in America I mean that’s what the freedom fighters told us in the hunters

The infographics shows best videos are the ww2 videos they do

I absolutely love history.

Little known fact, before Strykers death he was responsible for injecting James Howlett with Adamantium, dooming his own demise.

Fun fact: Why only 24 put on trial? Because there was only 24 seats.

Love it but can you make a video of the deepest hole dug by man and why was it abandoned

10:24 there is a movie about this on Netflix. It’s operation finale or something like that.

time for me to go down the infographic show rabbit hole

Some of those scientists got pardons for their help

Remember: history is always written by the victors.

Wow that’s really interesting I never realised that they were held accountable

There is a story that julius streicher's executioner intentionally mistied his noose so that he wouldn't be killed suddenly, but would slowly be strangled

This show teaches and informs me more then modern history did last year

I was always told that a bunch of them left for south America but I’m not sure how many actually made it that far I’d imagine most of them are probably dead by now or still don’t want to be found if they are still out there

I've literally heard three things wrong with this already

In the late fifties I was watching the Wonderful World of Disney and Uncle Walt had Werner Von Braun as the guest. "That man sounds like the bad guys in the movies" I thought.

The fact that ww2 is still in living memory is insane to me

You forgot Erik Priebke, extradited from Argentina in the 90's to Italy, died in prison in Italy

Bethesda got inspiration to creat Braun (the man behind the GECK and the “little girl” from tranquility lane fallout 3) From real life Von Brain.

As a scholar, I appreciate this assessment. 👍🏽 We'll done.
