If they were made in Germany for export...they might have been labeled that way...who knows?

Enough chops to get to a remote Argentine location, from war torn Germany, construct an elaborate compound out of rocks and then resort to buying locally Argentine-imported, but German-made porcelain?
Possible, I suppose.

There are still walled compounds scattered throughout Argentina and other south American countries where descendants of the Nazi's still live today and practice their elitism. These compounds are often protected by the local governments due to large sums of money paid by the compounds owners.

Its also useful to remember that Argentina was one of the most affluent countries in the world in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The population is made up of large numbers of German, Italian, French and Spanish stock. The Germans were there way before the Second World War. Now Peron did let a bunch more in. Hell even the current president has a German last name (from her husband's side). Love the Argentines... If I was on the run that is where I would go...Originally Posted by Singlestack Wonder

If a large number of people are willing to kill you for saying something, then it probably really needs to be said. .

IIRC there was a significant German population in Argentina, and other parts of South America, prior to 1945. It probably shouldn't be surprising that many German made goods were imported there. Nazi's on the run probably only dealt with the local German population and likely bought German made products when possible.
All that said, I'm not sure it constitutes absolute evidence of this being a secret nazi hide out. Mengele damn near lived in the open and many people knew who he was, he had his family visit him more than once. Not sure a jungle fort was necessary.

It very well could be what it is said to be. Just not sure how we jump from Made in Germany to Nazis -- inner skeptic, I suppose.

I don't disagree.
Likely a ton of nazi coins came to Argentina during the war. Locally sourced German product really isn't proof of anything either. The article mentioned nazi symbols including swastikas on or in the building, but they didn't show them for some reason.

One thing to think about on pottery like that, The "Made in Germany" to a degree you date that.. Pre-war pottery for export, would be marked "Made in Germany" Post-war up until reunification, Would be marked "Made in W.(West) Germany' After reunification back to "Made in Germany" Looking at the style of the lettering, I'm thinking that's Pre-war..

I'll ask my former mother in law about this, she's an expert on Nazi's.
I think the serial number on her Nazi Party membership card is in the low triple digits. So she should know for sure.
