Michael Peck, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *History, Americas* Argentina offered the Nazis sanctuary. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Only five prototypes were built. One did see combat—it flew in support of military rebels who overthrew Perón in 1955. In the end, Argentina ended up with British Meteors in the 1940s and bargain-priced American F-86 Sabres in the 1950s. After World War II, Argentina gained a reputation for taking in characters with checkered pasts. Not only was it a haven for Nazis fleeing justice, but it turns out that Argentina turned to Reich scientists and French traitors to build a...
