Bruins have been uncovered in Argentina
but they're not from an ancient
civilization are reportedly connected
with the Nazi regime
according to an article in The New
Zealand Herald a secret bunker was found
which appears that have been planned for
members of the Nazi Party to use the
hideout after losing the ward fleeing to
South America when see Frances in Los
Angeles with more details on this
hideaway Lindsay this is very
interesting how was this bunker as it's
called uncovered
yes it's very interesting that these are
always seem to be stories people love to
hear about the archaeologists and
scientists from Buenos Aires University
we're actually looking for structures
that were very old even ancient this is
in the north of the country bordering
paraguay the undergrowth is very thick
so machetes have to be used to cut
through it and that's when they found
relatively modern stone structures
inside they found the coins from the
Third Reich dating back to the mid to
late nineteen thirties they found china
with made in Germany stamped on the
bottom and they even found Nazi symbols
carved into the stone there
it sounds like something out of Indiana
Jones you leave it to the Third Reich to
cart in China and teacups when they're
trying to hide out from you know Human
Rights atrocities it just sounds like
it's out of a movie
it absolutely does and how did
scientists actually connect the dots
aside from the artifacts in Germany some
of the stuff they looked at was the
location this is 10 minutes from the
border with Paraguay it's no it's a very
easy way to escape when these were built
in the middle of of the war there was no
yet an indication that the Nazis would
win or not I this structure a lot of
money was put into these structures
these stone structures
it's very dense p it was defendable it
was out of the way they were able to
possibly if they needed it live very
quietly so it seemed as if these
buildings were commissioned for a
specific purpose and one of the things
also is that the Argentine government
was very Nazi friendly
after the war after the Third Reich fell
Arjun
tinny argue the Argentinean government
actually opened its arms and then that's
when former Nazi leader's flooded and
hide out from their war crimes so argent
I who knows that these were actually
used but they were certainly set up in a
very convincing way to work as a hideout
ok and as a scientist who made this
discovery say this is not the only Nazi
hideaway still lying around
from what I understand Los Angeles also
has one and you may have been there
that's right I went up there with our
very own cameraman zubi Muhammad we
hiked all day up into the pacific
palisades and we found a really i mean
for lack of a better term
cool a stone structure mean this is a
very extensive structure that was
discovered up this Canyon
it was made the nineteen thirties a a
anti symmetric group the silver shirts
had built this and heavily financed it
it was in the middle of the mountains
they had access to water they could tap
into satellite signals they had a port
they were convinced that Germany would
end up coming over and ruling it
according to historians in the Pacific
Palisades very interesting stuff
and according to the scientists I in
Argentina
there are tons of Nazi hideouts built
all over the world that have been
uncovered by archaeologists one here in
california music videos are shot there
hikers are all over the place and it's
very impressive how independent this
place could have been if these people
weren't arrested during the start of
World War two
it's absolutely fascinating we do
appreciate you bringing us the details
