5. And Chile. Lots of them in the South of Chile.

Stayed in a B&B in the south of Chile in 1989. Saw a glass covered, recessed area in a wall in the living room and went over to look at it. On glass shelves was a large group of golden miniature figures and vehicles in a parade. The whole thing looked vaguely Teutonic (German), but had Egyptian looking components also. Very finely made, like something a jeweler would do.

I commented appreciatively on it and the elderly owner told me the story. Every figure and vehicle was modeled from a big parade of Teutonic history that occurred under the early days of Hitler. Evey piece was solid gold and there were only 100 sets made and they were given to high-ranking people.

So, I drew my own conclusion. His pride in the parade, the history portrayed, and being "high-ranking" let me to believe he was one of those Nazis who escaped to Chile after WWII.
