The Argentine Supreme Court has found documentation associated with the Nazi regime among its archives, including propaganda material that was used to spread Adolf Hitler’s ideology in the South American nation.

One Judicial authority from the court disclosed this to The Associated Press on Sunday.

The judicial authority said the court came across the material when preparing to create a museum with its historical documents. The official requested anonymity due to internal policies.

Among the documents, they found postcards, photographs, and propaganda material from the German regime.

Some of the material “intended to consolidate and propagate Adolf Hitler’s ideology in Argentina, in the midst of World War II,” the official said.

The boxes are believed to be related to the arrival of 83 packages in Buenos Aires on June 20, 1941.

This was sent by the German Embassy in Tokyo aboard the Japanese steamship “Nan-a-Maru.”
