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.

It’s easy to condemn soldiers of the axis today, but being a conscientious objector wasn’t easy or good for the health during that time.

My great-grandpa actually had to hide from the Gestapo during those years, and my great-great-uncle died in a Nazi prison, so I have some family bragging rights I guess.
Those bragging rights unfortunately don’t feel nearly as good, when I realise I might end up in the same situation with how things are going…
