Is it going to be impossible to find documentation on the fact that my great-great uncle was a Nazi hunter?
Posted on
It’s a pretty widely accepted fact amongst my family that my fathers great-grandfather lived in Argentina as a US operative gathering intel on SS officers that were living there. Maybe more.
I don’t have any concrete proof but my father said he remembers his grandfather and great uncle having conversations about times times he got poisoned, almost caught, etc. My father is the least likely person to exaggerate that I know, and his grandfather was a WW2 Naval officer and WW1 cavalryman, so he wouldve probably called people on their bullshit if it wasn’t true. They also both grew up in German speaking households and knew perfect German so it makes sense that one was sent to Argentina. We also have tons of Argentinian currency from the late 40s and early 50s. Point being, I’m 90% sure he was a Nazi hunter.
He was navy during WW2, and we don’t know if he was navy when he lived in Argentina or CIA, but is there any way at all to find documentation of this, or was it all so covert that a paper trail is probably non-existent?
