This way it doesn’t make much sense. Germans flew to Argentina, not the other way around. And quite some German Jews flew there too so it could still be both
Yes it does. 1945 was 80 years ago, which is easily grandparent age.
Assume that great-grandfather is born in 1920 in Germany. He would be old enough to commit crimes against humanity and flee to Argentina at the war’s conclusion, at the age of 25. If he immediately had children in 1946, and they migrated back to Germany in the 60s or 70s, they could easily have adult grandchildren by today.
Still a leap from “grandfather from Argentina” to “his parents are from Germany and he himself went back to the country, his parents left”. I would assume most Argentineans do not have ancestry in Germany so no reason to assume that if you only know they are from Argentina
