Buenos Aires, May 12 (AP) 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, a judicial authority from the court told The Associated Press on Sunday.

The court came across the material when preparing for the creation of a museum with its historical documents, the judicial authority said.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

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

At the time, the German diplomatic mission in Argentina had requested the release of the material, claiming the boxes contained personal belongings, but the Customs and Ports Division retained it.

The president of the Supreme Court, Horacio Rosatti, has ordered the preservation of the material and a thorough analysis. (AP)
