This could be the submarine that evacuated Hitler at the end of the war.”He said of the wrecked submarine: “The presumption is that it arrived stealthily in the winter of 1945.“The methodology consisted of disembarking and then sinking the submarine to eliminate traces.”Mr Basti believes the tyrant would have been taken to a ranch at Moromar, north of Quequén, supposedly built by German agents.Another sub, German U-boat U-530, surrendered off Argentina in 1945, sparking theories they were used to transport Nazi top brass.Most people believe Hitler killed himself in Berlin in April 1945, but some maintain he escaped from Germany.Several Nazis are known to have fled Europe in the aftermath of World War Two via what were called 'ratlines', secret escape routes that mainly led to havens in Latin America.They were aided by then Argentine President Juan Perón, a man who called the Nuremberg Trials "a disgrace and an unfortunate lesson for the future of humanity" before adding: "Now we realise that they [the Allies] deserved to lose the war."For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletter by clicking here.In 2020, the Simon Weisenthal Institute.
