Declassified documents show Nazi war criminal Walter Kutschmann lived in Argentina under a false identity for decades, evading justice despite warnings in 1975.
Declassified Argentine documents reveal that Walter Kutschmann, a former SS and Gestapo officer linked to the deaths of over 1,500 Jews in Ukraine and Poland, lived in Argentina under the alias Pedro Ricardo Olmo for decades after WWII, obtaining citizenship through deception.
In 1975, Jewish survivor groups warned President Isabel de Perón and the interior minister that Kutschmann was residing openly in the country and was wanted by West Germany.
Despite urgent internal investigations, coordination with Interpol and German authorities, and media exposure, Argentine officials failed to confirm his identity or apprehend him.
Kutschmann died without facing justice, highlighting persistent shortcomings in the global pursuit of Nazi war criminals.
