This has been reported in nzherald.co.nz dated 23 March 2015.
It is a cluster of stone structures, now covered by thick vines and accessible only when using a machete to cut through the undergrowth. Inside are stashes of German coins from the late 1930s, fragments of "Made in Germany" porcelain, and Nazi symbols on the walls. The archeologists feel they have stumbled onto a secret Nazi lair.
Their logic is the need to construct these structures, at such great effort and expense, in a site which at that time was totally inaccessible, away from the local community, with material which is not typical of the regional architecture.
That is the opinion of Daniel Schavelzon, leader of the team who is from the University of Buenos Aires. He had spent months exploring the site in the Teyu Cuare provincial park, in the Misiones region of northern Argentina.
From all appearances, the buildings were planned as a refuge for leaders of the Third Reich in the event of their fleeing Germany. Such a decision had probably taken halfway through the Second World War. The shelters for top leaders in the event of defeat were chosen based on criterion like inaccessible sites, in the middle of deserts, in the mountains, on a cliff or in the middle of the jungle.
And selecting of the site in Argentina had the advantages of allowing the inhabitants to be in Paraguay in less than 10 minutes. Moreover, it was a protected, defendable site where they could live quietly.
