Secret documents of secret Nazi documents caught during World War II were recently discovered in the basement of the top court in Argentina.
Judicial officials who moved the court archives to the new museum came across a box of German government records, the Supreme Court said on Monday.
The court said it was a pile of Nazi papers, including material “to consolidate and spread Adolf Hitler’s ideology in Argentina.” Supreme Court President Horacio Rosatti ordered the Nazi crates to be investigated.
According to court reports, in 1941, about 83 packages sent by the German Embassy from Tokyo arrived in Argentina on the Japanese ship Nan-a-Maru.
The German diplomatic mission at the time said the boxes contained personal influences of its members, but Argentine customs officials warned the foreign minister that allowing the packages to enter the country without inspection could threaten Argentina's neutrality in World War II.
When some Argentine officials opened five boxes at random, they found Nazi propaganda, postcards, photos and thousands of notebooks from the National Socialist German Workers' Party organization and the German trade union.

A federal judge ordered the seizure of the goods and handed over the matter to the Supreme Court in Argentina. The court did not state in the announcement this week why the boxes hadn't been open for so long.
Rosatti and other Argentine officials, including representatives from the Buenos Aires Holocaust Museum, attended the official opening of the box on Friday.
Currently, these content will be placed under the police station when scanning, digitizing and reviewing. Officials said they wanted to see the materials contained in the materials about the Holocaust and other aspects of the regime, such as the "Global Nazi Currency Trail."
