"Argentina Steakhouse": Argentina was a haven for Nazi war criminals. A secret network was established to rescue Collaborators and Nazis from post war Europe to Argentina. Once in Argentina dictator Juan Perón's government protected them and they settled in the southern regions of the country. (See Wikipedia article "Pursuit of Nazi collaborators" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pursuit_of_Nazi_collaborators ). "Swiss Bank Gold": During the war, the Nazis stole gold, jewelry, and other valuables from the millions of Jews they murdered. The Germans needed a way to place these commodities in the international market so that they could use the money they received in exchange for their war effort. The Swiss helped facilitate the exchange in addition to holding Nazi accounts. Many speculate that some of the gold that the Swiss accepted were the dental gold and wedding rings taken from Jews at the camps.
