Archeologists may have struck “German Gold” in a recent expedition in the Argentinian jungle, uncovering ruins of what they believe to be an old Nazi Hideout. In the ruins, the spelunking team had discovered old German coins and an old plate believed to be from the end of the Third Reich. If they are correct they may have uncovered an old hideout for Nazi leaders at the end of the Second World War.
The ruins, three dilapidated stone buildings, were discovered in Teyu Cuare park in a remote jungle in Northern Argentina near the border of Paraguay. There, the archeologists…, researchers of the University of Buenos Aires, found five German coins minted between 1938 and 1944, as well as a fragmented plate with a German inscription.
“Apparently, halfway through the second world war, the Nazis had a secret project to build shelters for top leaders in the event of defeat – inaccessible sites in the middle of deserts, in the mountains, on a cliff or in the middle of the jungle like this,” the archaeologists’ team leader, Daniel Schavelzon, said.
The “shelters” or hideaways were actually called ratlines in wartime. These “ratlines” were built as a way for the Nazi party members to escape during the end of the war, when their demise was imminent.
Argentina was chosen as a destination as, then President of Argentina and Nazi sympathizer, Juan Domingo Perón was believed to have brought in hundreds, if not thousands of Nazis under his protection. There are rumors that Nazi gold, as well as Adolf Hitler himself, made their way on dinghies to the Argentinian coast.
“In those days, Argentina was a kind of paradise to us,” Nazi Erich Priebke remembered in 1991. Oddly enough, the ruins may have not even been used, as Nazis were welcomed openly in Argentina under President Perón, during the years of 1946 to 1955.
The ruins also proved something that was unknown before. If the new discovery is proved to be credible it would mean that the Nazi’s made their way into the Argentinian jungle further than ever before imagined. The Teyu Cuare park is located hundred of miles to the north towards Paraguay.
The researches are quite certain about their hypothesis on the discovery citing Nazi signs, the correctly dated coins, German porcelain inscribed with “Made in Germany”, as well as perhaps most telling, swastikas etched into the sides of the buildings as evidence.
