The Hunt For The Gestapo Officers Hiding In Argentina | Nazi Hunters

In 1994, an ABC News team investigated how Nazi war criminals, including high-ranking Gestapo officers like Captain Reinhard Kopps and Erich Priebke, fled and hid in Argentina after World War II. Argentina had long been a haven for Nazi fugitives, but new files and the liberalization of the Argentine government helped uncover the extent of their presence. Journalist Harry Phillips and his team, with help from the Simon Wiesenthal Center, identified and tracked down Kopps (alias Juan Maler) and Priebke, who were living openly in a German town in the Andes.
