This last week, the Argentinian newspaper Clarin ran a story about a group of archaeologists from the University of Buenos Aires that made an small excavation at a few ruins in the Teyú Cuaré national park near the border with Paraguay. Among the ruins, German items dated to the early days of WWII was found which led to sensationalist articles all around the world (and here on Reddit) about a secret Nazi hide-out, something that was reinforced by Daniel Schavelzon saying that "the Nazi air force devised a secret project of building hideouts so that the highest-ranking Nazis could escape after their defeat – inaccessible sites in the middle of deserts, in the mountains, on a cliff or in the middle of the jungle like this".

Of course, the story is a complete and utter exaggeration built upon speculation with very little foundation, as admitted by Daniel Schavelzon himself. As The Guardian article explains, there is nothing new about this story and is essentially a continuation of the post-war fantasies about run-away Nazis (which included Hitler and Bormann) staying in secret location and hatching away at secret plans - as opposed to the reality of older war criminals simply living amongst the general population.
