Well I live here and never met a SS down here.
I met a German Night Fighter Ace and Holder of the Knight's Cross with Oakleaves in a public event in a book store in 2011 and I know of a couple of former Wehrmacht soldiers still alive, but that's all. I live near the spot where the remains of the infamous Auschwitz doctor Josef Mengele were found back in 1985.

South of Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Paraguay all had German colonies settled since the 19th Century, some of them still speaking dialects long forgotten even in Germany. It was a natural place to hide, but I think that the size of such nazi emmigration is enormously exaggerated.
