According to some estimates, the Argentine land came to five thousand Nazis. Perhaps the most famous case of life hiding in Argentina servants of the Third Reich was the arrest in 1995 in the border with Chile city of San Carlos de Bariloche with the subsequent extradition to Italy of the former SS-Hauptsturmführer Erich Priebke. Recall that Priebke was eventually sentenced by an Italian court to life imprisonment for participating in the Ardeatine massacre March 24, 1944 in Rome, when 335 civilians were killed by the Italians.
