* ''Series/SecretArmy'' had a sequel, ''Series/{{Kessler}}'', featuring the title Nazi from ''Secret Army'' as a VillainProtagonist trying to keep one step ahead of Nazi-hunters in the years after 1945. It included a period in South America.

It should be noted that this trope is not meant to depict Argentinians/other South Americans as Nazis. Even in the 40's, Argentina had a high German-Argentine diaspora, and Nazis mostly relocated there because it would be easiest to blend in, since there was less risk in just keeping their German surname and claiming to simply be of German descent if questioned than going out of their way to change it to something else, as someone who just so happens to be getting a German surname changed after World War II would raise suspicion.

* ''{{Franchise/StarWars Star Wars}}'' has a version of this trope in the form of the [[Characters/StarWarsUnknownRegions Unknown Regions]], which were secretly colonized by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War, so that when they lost to the illegal New Republic at the Battle of Jakku during the events of ''[[Literature/AftermathEmpiresEnd Empire's End]]'', several diehard Imperials such as Commandant Brendol Hux and Grand Admiral Rae Sloane can go there and found what would later become the First Order.

* This is the subject of Music/TheFall's "Haf Found Bormann".

* The map of the world in DC Comics' ''Comicbook/{{Flashpoint|DCComics}}'' alternate timeline unusually used Brazil but the map appeared to indicate all of South America, more or less: [[http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2011/05/20/dcs-flashpoint-world-map-sparks-controversy/ "Brazil (Nazi-Occupied)"]].

* In ''{{ComicBook/Hitman}}'', when Tiegel's NaziGrandpa dies, his old comrades come "from South America" for his funeral.
* In “River of Ghosts”, the finale of ''ComicBook/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen''‘s Nemo spinoff trilogy, concerns what is essentially the plot of ''Literature/TheBoysFromBrazil'' with a number of added wrinkles: Mengele and Martin Bormann are in a secret compound in the Amazon raising a gaggle of clones of [[Film/TheGreatDictator Adenoid Hynkel]] and [[Literature/{{She}} Ayesha]], who had been an ally to Hynkel and the Axis during the war. Also involved is [[Film/DrGoldfootAndTheBikiniMachine Dr. Heinz Goldfoot]] who is funding this operation by creating {{Fembot}}s to either star in lurid porn magazines or be shipped to [[Literature/TheStepfordWives some suburb in Connecticut]] in crates marked “kitchen appliances.”

* {{Inverted}} by Creator/AlanMoore's ''ComicBook/{{Marvelman}}'' run, where the new backstory for Dr. Gargunza has him native to Latin America (Mexican by birth, attaining prominence in Brazilian gangs) and willingly going to Nazi Germany as an adult. Even then, he doesn't do anything significant for the Reich before [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere defecting to British Intelligence]], where he gets up to all his ''real'' mischief. It's played semi-straight after that, with him "retiring" to Paraguay after his superhuman project gets shut down by Her Majesty's Government; the henchmen he's set up with there ''are'' by all appearances born-and-bred Nazis, one even calling Marvelman ''"Ubermensch"'' in awe.

* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'': In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS3E74DeathsHeadRevisited Deaths-Head Revisited]]", Alfred Becker asks why Gunter Lütze has returned to Dachau as he was "quite safe down there in South America."

* ''Series/{{Marple}}'': In the adaption of ''[[Literature/AtBertramsHotel'' a subplot was added about Nazis being smuggled to South America in return for their stolen art.
* In the ''{{Series/MASH}}'' episode "A Smattering of Intelligence", Hawkeye and Trapper trick Col. Flagg and another intelligence officer (who was a friend of Trapper's) so that one thinks Frank is a communist while the other thinks he's a fascist. The fascist charges leveled at Frank include the claim that he helped sponsor a Martin Bormann telethon in Argentina.

** Subverted in "The Kid is All Right", whose guest star (Creator/EvaLongoria) is cast as a Sephardic Jew whose parents were born in Argentina. It's never suggested she has any German ancestry, however.

'''Krieger:''' No! That's why we... [[VerbalBackspace uh, ''they'']] lost the war! Lack of science!

* On ''Series/{{The Office|US}}'', Dwight Schrute has referred several times to his Nazi maternal grandfather, who lives in Argentina and was 103 at the time of the interview.

* ''Series/TheOuterLimits1995'': In "Tribunal", the time traveler Nicholas Prentice tells Aaron Zgierski that the historical records of his time show that the Nazi war criminal Karl Rademacher (alias Robert Greene) bought a one-way ticket to UsefulNotes/{{Argentina}} and was never heard from again. However, Aaron and Prentice make sure that he doesn't get the chance to go to Argentina by taking him to Auschwitz in 1944 dressed as a prisoner, [[StableTimeLoop which would account for him never being heard from again]].

* ''Series/WonderWoman'': Foreshadowed in "Formula 407". The Nazis and Allies went to Argentina to convince a scientist to give his formula for super hard rubber to their respective side. Played straight in "Anschluss '77". In the 1970s, the remnants of the Nazi party are in Argentina literally cloning Hitler and armed with military weapons and tanks. One of which tries and fails to run over Wonder Woman in a scene that is on the shortlist of SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome. She stops the tank dead in its tracks with her bare hands!

* In ''Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory'', the Golden Ticket holder from Paraguay [[note]]whose nationality is changed to Russian in the Creator/TimBurton adaptation[[/note]] is revealed to be a fraud — a news photo shows him to be Martin Bormann, though in this continuity he's going by a Spanish surname.

* The [[JediTruth monster]] in the CreepyPasta ''There are Things in the Mountains of Argentina We Thought Extinct'' is an SS trooper (as a matter of fact, a concentration camp guard) who (rightfully) thinks that if anyone learns of his past, they'll kill him.
