BUENOS AIRES, Argentina โ The Supreme Court of Argentina has uncovered Nazi-era documentation within its archives, which includes propaganda materials intended to proliferate Adolf Hitlerโs beliefs in Argentina, as per information shared by a judicial authority on Sunday.
The discovery was made while the court was organizing its archival materials in preparation for establishing a museum dedicated to its historical documents. The judicial official requested anonymity due to organizational policies.
Among the unearthed items were postcards, photographs, and various propaganda artifacts originating from the Nazi regime. These documents appear to have been designed to reinforce and disseminate Hitlerโs ideology in Argentina during the tumultuous times of World War II, explained the official.
These boxes are believed to connect with a shipment of 83 packages that arrived in Buenos Aires on June 20, 1941. They were dispatched by the German Embassy in Tokyo and transported aboard the Japanese vessel โNan-a-Maru.โ
At the time, the German diplomatic representatives in Argentina requested the release of these packages, asserting they contained personal belongings. However, the nationโs Customs and Ports Division retained them temporarily.
Currently, Horacio Rosatti, the president of the Supreme Court, has mandated the preservation and comprehensive examination of these materials to gain further insights.
