89. Absolutely. Hitler had the same problem with German-Argentines he had with German-Americans: Most were against him!

The Nazis in Berlin had to launch their own newspaper in Argentina - the La Plata Süddeutsche Zeitung - to counter the staunchly anti-Nazi Argentinisches Tageblatt (by far the most popular German-language daily in Argentina - and the newspaper of record for the German-speaking community there for over a century).

The Süddeutsche Zeitung's assets were seized in 1945 - and to this day, you can make out where its logo had been hastily painted over on the top floor of its former headquarters in the neo-Gothic building on Corrientes 672 (downtown).

Perón had the building repurposed as the HQ of the state-owned Río Santiago Shipyards - today on the brink of closure thanks to the brazenly anti-industry Milei regime (most RW Argentine regimes since 1976 have been openly hostile to domestic industry, as well as to labor).

Qué será.
