History

During the Nazi rule in Germany, the small Swiss-Argentine community was reported to be strongly opposing the Nazis' penetration into Argentina.[1]

After the defeat of Germany in World War II, Argentine officials posted in Switzerland (as well as in Sweden) became busy recruiting "useful Germans" (those with technical expertise needed by Argentina) for migration to this South American country.[2]
