Argentina and German SS

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

 

During the war, Argentinian President Juan Peron, pictured with his wife Eva in Buenos Aires in 1950, sold 10,000 blank Argentine passports to ODESSA - the organisation set up to protect former SS men in the event of defeat. Over 5,000 war criminals fled to South America during the last days of the war.
