[Jerusalem Post] After a suspected World War II submarine was discovered in Argentinian waters in 2022, confidential government documents secured by British investigative journalist Laurence de Mello Simon present the possibility of a Nazi smuggling route created by the United States in partnership with Argentina, according to a May report. The sub, which was found near the beaches of Costa Bonita and Arenas Verdes, has the potential to confirm theories that Nazis escaped to Argentina toward the end of the war.
However, de Mello explained that the Argentinian government has failed to provide any transparency in their investigative attempts to identify the sub. Rather, according to her, Argentina has refused to publicly identify the ship which cost the government $300,000 to investigate.
The investigation was meant to identify the sub’s origin, the date that it sank and whether there were any passengers of significant military interest aboard at the time of sinking.
