What is the relationship between Nazi Germany and South America? Why did many senior Nazi officials flee to South America after the war?

1. Europe obviously can't stay any longer. 2. America is a traditional immigrant destination for Germans. For example, the largest ethnic group in the United States is actually not British, but German, accounting for 17. 1% (see Wikipedia American Race and Nation), but the Nazis obviously went to the United States to die. 3. From the19th century, a large number of Germans immigrated to South America, including Argentina and Chile. In particular, Germany's economy and military are quite influential in the local area, including the commander-in-chief of the Chilean armed forces, who was once a German officer. South American countries did not participate in World War II, and there were many officers in the army who sympathized with Germany.
