    I assume I don't need to provide sources for operation paperclip as it is well known.

    As for the Nazi part: these counties were popular travel destinations for Nazis trying to escape prosecution, with Argentina being especially known for this, who then helped exterminate political opponents in concentration camps. This is more relevant to the earlier Peru's coup however.
