"Angel Of Death" Nazi Doctor Hid In Plain Sight, New Files Reveal
Declassified files reveal Mengele lived openly with multiple identities, owned businesses, and evaded arrest despite international efforts, dying in Brazil in 1979, records show.
- Earlier this year, Argentina released intelligence files under President Javier Milei's declassification showing Josef Mengele lived in South America after World War II while authorities held extensive information but rarely acted.
- By 1950, Argentine records show Josef Mengele registered as an immigrant despite existing identification records, while separate agencies tracked him without consolidating files, enabling business and legal activities.
- Investigative folders earlier this year detail immigration documents, surveillance summaries, photographs, and passport copies tied to assumed identities, while eyewitnesses describe Mengele as sadistic and records show he married his brother's widow and ran a medical lab with family support.
- A 1959 arrest request from West Germany was dismissed by an Argentine judge as politically driven, after which Mengele fled to Paraguay and later Brazil; forensic and DNA teams later confirmed his remains.
- The archive revelations suggest fragmented intelligence and judicial records allowed Josef Mengele to live openly, while forensic and DNA teams later confirmed his identity, renewing focus on institutional shortcomings.
