How Hitler and other Nazis escaped to South America

**The US Navy and the Greatest USO Hunt in History**

OCCURRENCES: On separate occasions in 1958, 1959 and 1960 an unidentified submarine was detected inside a body of water known as Golfo Nuevo on the coast of Argentina. The apparent purpose of the intrusion seems to have been to prove the invulnerability of the submarine. The Argentine Navy handled the first two intrusions, the US Navy was called in for the 1960 event which is considered the greatest submarine hunt in history.

15 February 1960: The naval forces reported that the intruder submarine “had the mysterious ability to avoid electronic detection.” This meant that it did not return the radar beam, and its bearing could not be determined from hydrophone or sonar equipment. Late this day the Argentine Minister of Defence, Justo Vilar, announced that that submarine “must have escaped”. This meant he believed it had sailed through the minefield and got between the vessels on listening watch.

Washington 21 March (UPI): Captain Ray M Pitts, who headed a US unit in Argentina during last month’s submarine scare, believes there was a foreign submarine in Golfo Nuevo.
He said in an interview that there was much evidence he was not free to speak about. He added that he had talked with persons who said they had seen the intruder. He said he was confident those persons were telling the turth.
Captain Pitts is assistant director of the Navy’s Undersea Warfare Division. Eight members of the 13-man US Expedition sent to Argentina to help hunt for the submarine were killed in the plane collision February 25 over Rio de Janeiro.”
