 There can no longer be any doubt of the massive influence the Third Reich had on South America, Argentina especially - from years prior to the outbreak of World War II to years after the end of the war and even today.  Come with Sharkhunters as we return to this historic area.

NOTE - This is not a pampered vacation tour.  Those selected will dig, use metal detectors, take photos and videos - hike, walk and climb steep grades.  We will get our hands dirty and scuff up our knees.  This is a rough itinerary and not for the timid!

     Eden Hotel
We go to Cordoba Province and from our HQ hotel, we are within walking distance of the Eden Hotel, playground for the wealthy of the Third Reich - even for a man and his wife that history tells us were killed in a Berlin bunker in late April 1945.  A Sharkhunters Member who has done preliminary reconnaissance for us tells us there are letters from Adolf Hitler framed on the wall along with a one-page report from an OSS agent who interrogated a worker here swearing that she served Hitler and Eva here - in the 1950!  Decide for yourself.

                          BELOW - Hotel Eden as it is today.

         BELOW - Hotel Eden during the war years, when wealthy and special people from the Reich played here.

Golf and relaxation far from the war. Hitler's radio speeches were received and played over the loudspeakers for the crowds. Relaxing in the lush Argentine mountains, far from the war - far from prying eyes.

Wealthy and special people of the Third Reich enjoyed holidays here - relaxed here, dined here, played sports here, listened to the radio broadcasts here.  Come with us and walk where they walked - stand where they stood - gaze at what they saw.

 Villa General Belgrano

Villa General Belgrano is the little town where the crew of the panzerschiff GRAF SPEE settled after the ship was lost in the River Platte.  We will go there at least one evening and life a beer or two while singing PROST!  Who will we meet there?  Come along and see for yourself while enjoying good German beer.  Warsteiner is quite popular in certain areas of Argentina.

If you speak German, you'll fit right in.  If not, we'll translate for you.


Mandel's Castle

Fritz Mandel, a wealthy Austrian armaments manufacturer got out of the crumbling Europe as the Third Reich disintegrated and was welcomed to Argentina by a friendly and compassionate (?) Juan Peron - and possibly by very high ranking members of the Third Reich who had brought hundreds of millions with them to secret bank accounts in South America.  And so with access to massive amounts of money, Mandel continued to manufacture weapons for..............we are not sure, but he made another fortune and built a massive castle which was his home.  Today, it is a mega-luxury resort.  We visit, take photos - and remember the history of this place from sixty years ago.


             Hotel Viena

The Hotel Viena was built in 1943 as an entire resort complex - in the middle of World War II, and it had such unheard of amenities as air conditioning, elevators - and a plastic surgery clinic!  it is reported that Hitler and Eva Braun vacationed here on occasion.

The resort is situated on the shore of a huge lake but over the years, the steadily rising waters of the lake have forced abandonment of the area as the waters are consuming the entire resort complex.  It is abandoned - but it is waiting for us to explore; are you ready for it?  This is not for the faint of heart or for the 'wannabee' armchair hero.  This is for the serious - are YOU up to the challenge?

This is the first time any Sharkhunters expedition has come to this area.  Don't you want to be part of this historic expedition?

NOTE - Argentina is experiencing a strong recession, thereby making your dollar more valuable!  When we went in January 2008, the US Dollar was worth 3 Argentine Pesos.  When we went in January 2009, the US Dollar was worth 3.75 Pesos.  Today the Dollar is worth 4 Pesos and it is predicted that when we are there in January, the Dollar will be worth 4.25 Pesos.  Your US Dollar or European Euro will buy a lot!

Naturally, there will be more to do - these are just the highlights.
