What country, any where in the world, especially a Latin American one, anxious to be on good terms with America and other Western nations for trade and such is going to want to have a person of such notoriety , a monster, living in their country? Adolf Hitler War Criminal Number 1 after WW2. If it was known he was alive and living in Brazil the world was just going to do nothing and let him enjoy a retirement?

Well he wasn't living in Brazil. He was living in Argentina, protected by the German community there. They didn't advertise that, although people like Juan Peron knew they were there. According to the declassified CIA documents, he visited the German community in Columbia in 1955, when he assumed the 10 year statute of limitations for war crimes had expired, and he was treated as hero. He returned to Argentina after that. He may have visited Brazil, but he likely remained in Argentina until his death between 1962 and 1965.
