I find this type of information very interesting, I’ve wondered how many Nazis escaped Europe and ended up in Argentina and other South American countries.
People might be surprised that many Nazi leaders have children in the US.
Fascinating-—evil.
He was one of those folks that should have gotten down on his knees every night and pray there is no Hell.
The internet was young in the days when I took early retirement and got into screenplay writing. One of my deepest regrets was that I was still addicted to phone calls rather than emails with a permanent record, and hadn’t gotten into recording phone calls. But there was Brian, a literary agent I turned down who became my best friend. And we spent uncountable hours on the phone talking about EVERYTHING. But that was over 40 years ago and my memory fades. One of my “if only’s”.
One of his enthusiasms was history and Brian had spent time in South America trying to get leads to Mengele for a book he wanted to write and sell. I have only the vaguest recollection of his making an appointment in some country for a lunch with a man whom he believed to be Mengele. It was a short meeting because Brian could bring nothing of use but apparently wasn’t seen as a major threat either, because he did leave safely. But what Brian remembered were the eyes. Cold and frightening.
Coulda - shoulda - found a way to write down so much that was just so vivid at the time.
Now I keep a file called stories.
Too late.
It was interesting. We had no idea that it was about Mengele as the whole film was set after the war, but...as we watched, without them saying so, it began to dawn on me.
How did he survive from 1945 to 1950?
And I should have checked the internet myself this time. Brian DID publish the biography of Mengela.
And he made a brief mention of his trip in an email that I put on my Lost Friends page, and missed while reading my other Brian pages.
“Maybe I am from another planet, but when with a woman I care about, that relationship is the most important thought in my mind. Hell, I flew down to Argentina to meet Mengele and the Nazis, with my mind totally preoccupied with the woman I was in love with who, it had become increasingly clear during the week we spent together in New York, was getting edgy and wanting to return to normal.”

Was he a CIA asset like Klaus Barbie and other Nazi war criminals? Eichmann met Mengele a few times in S.A. Claimed he didn’t like him.
Mengele looks like Fauci.
