Bariloche is a sizable city, but most of its Nazi attractions are within a few-block radius, including Priebke’s Colegio Aleman, also known as Primo Capraro, and other German cultural institutions.

April 20 wasn’t just Easter—it was Adolf Hitler’s birthday, his 125th, in fact. The journalist Abel Basti, who has written a controversial book claiming that Hitler escaped to Bariloche and lived here for decades, told me the birthday parties used to be held at a hotel downtown but have moved to obscure estates in the years since Priebke’s arrest. Basti, who has also written tour guides to Bariloche’s Nazi sights, said he had a spy at this year’s party but laughed when I asked if he could get me in. “It’s too dangerous,”

Why wouldn’t a socialist leaning president visit a town the habored socialist after WWII? Sure Obama is more of an international socialists than a national socialists, never the less.

I don’t like Obama but this is silly. Bariloche is a beautiful resort area. It is the place anyone would go to, if they had the chance, and were visiting Argentina.

San Carlos de Beriloche is the town that many believe Hitler lived in until his death. Eva Braun lived there until her death around 2004.

There is a group called SharkHunters.com that take tours there of his home and the town every year. Go to the site for lots of pictures. These are serious people from Germany and the United States.

“Obama visiting the heart of the ex-Nazi community in Argentina. “.........

Following the Nazi’s lead and looking for a “safe space” when he is no longer POTUS. I hope he finds it there.

My nephew is vacationing/wandering there and sent a pix or two within the last week or so. It was really nice looking, reminiscent of Scandinavia/Europe.

I worked for one of those NAZI bastids in the 1980’s. He was a Stuka pilot who bombed England in WWII. He escaped after the war and went to Argentina. He and his brother later migrated to Montreal and he started a foundry. He employed several Germans and was very successful selling aircraft parts to the US aircraft companies. He died last year in Austria.

You know that the Nazis weren’t actually Socialists, right?

I know that Nazi is an abbreviation National Socialist German Workers’ Party, so they thought they were socialists, not international socialists but still socialists. They certainly like all socialists favored more and more government control over both industry and the population? So No I don’t “ know that the Nazis weren’t actually Socialists,” and neither should you.

WWII was a battle between the National Socialist and the International Socialists. The US some Europeans got caught up in it on the International Socialist side, but it really was the war between the factions of socialism.

It’s a nice place. It is a world famous resort. I’ve been. Not because I’m visiting nazis. Unfortunately i didn’t get to stay long. Mount Puyehue blew in Chile and covered the town in ash. It was nasty.

He himself, is a black national socialist.He thinks of himself as Der Halbeschwarzefuhrer, The Master of Disaster..Now he blathers about “social justice”. Soon, he will enact a program for “social hygene”..
