For those who don't get it: The joke is that the nazis went to Argentina, which isn't even true it's disinformation peddled by nazis to distract you from the fact they actually went to America. The second half is about the ubermench which only edgy (mentally) 14 year olds would find funny.

Eichmann worked for Mercedes in a plant in Buenos Aires.
Rauff lived under his own name in Chile.
Stangl went to Brazil.
South America was an incredibly common destination for Nazis. Yes, so was the US - typically mid-level or so Nazis with connections that would spy for years before being allowed into the US, a reward for service as it were.
But South America was popular for Nazis who fled, the US was popular with Nazis who surrendered and got put to work.
Not that I agree with the decision but that's not the same thing.
Ah yes all those white people with German names in south america, their grand parents definitely moved there for the scenery.
Some of them are descended from Germans who emigrated in the 19th century, often seeking religious freedom (the same phenomenon gave the US the Amish/Mennonites). There were some weird, purely German cult enclaves in South America by the time Nazi war criminals started looking for boltholes.
