I thought this line in the above article was interesting:
And how does he know that the former fascist dictator of Spain owed Hitler a favor?
Presumably the author was not familiar with this piece of history about the Spanish Civil War in 1936?
Faced with potential defeat, Franco called upon Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy for aid. Thanks to their military assistance, he was able to airlift troops from Spanish Morocco across to the mainland to continue his assault on Madrid. Throughout the three years of the conflict, Hitler and Mussolini provided the Spanish Nationalist Army with crucial military support.
Some 5,000 German air force personnel served in the Condor Legion, which provided air support for coordinated ground attacks against Republican positions and carried out aerial bombings on Republican cities. The most notorious of these attacks came on April 26, 1937, when German and Italian aircraft leveled the Basque town of Gernike (Guernica in Spanish) in a three-hour campaign that killed 200 civilians or more. Fascist Italy supplied some 75,000 troops in addition to its pilots and planes. Spain became a military laboratory to test the latest weaponry under battlefield conditions.
My preferred theory is that he moved to Spain.

he fled to spain shortly before Berlin fell, but ultimately ended up in Argentina
South America has a lot of German speaking people. Perfect hiding place.
Argentina so white.
(Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
