(30,526 posts)"designed what's widely believed to be Adolf Hitler's post-war hideout cabin in Patagonia." Seriously? Hitler did not survive and moved to Argentina. That's as batshit crazy as all the Alt-Right and MAGA conspiracy theories. Yes, some Nazis moved to Argentina, but there were German colonies in Argentina decades before WWII. Argentina was very wealthy at the time and, after the U.S., it was the second country to receive the largest number of European immigrants during the great migration. Their population doubled every six years thanks to the massive wave of immigrants, mostly Southern Italians and Spanish from Galicia. Although, Germans, Poles, Russians escaping the pogroms, British, Irish, Welsh, etc., also emigrated to Argentina. Most of the Welsh settled in Patagonia, some of the Germans too.
