Eichmann worked for Mercedes in a plant in Buenos Aires.

Rauff lived under his own name in Chile.

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.
