Top Nazi haul uncovered in Buenos Aires

-

POLICE believe they have found the biggest collection of Nazi artifacts in Argentina’s history, including a bust of Adolf Hitler and a macabre medical device used to measure head size.

Some 75 objects were found in a collector’s home in Beccar, a suburb north of Buenos Aires, and authoritie­s say they suspect they belonged to top Nazis in Germany during the Second World War.

Security minister Patricia Bullrich said: “Our investigat­ions indicate that these are original pieces,” adding that many pieces were accompanie­d by old photograph­s.

“This is a way to commercial­ise them, showing that they were used...by the Fuhrer. There are photos of him with the objects.”

Among the items were toys used to indoctrina­te children, and a statue of the Nazi Eagle above a swastika ( above).

The items may have been brought to the country by Auschwitz monster Josef Mengele. THERE is an Irish pub in Guantanamo Bay
