Cache of Nazi Documents Found in Champagne Boxes in Basement of Argentina Supreme CourtKurt Zindulka 13 May 2025
Argentina has announced a “discovery of global significance” after unearthing a store of documents from Nazi Germany sitting in decades-old champagne cases in the basement of the country’s Supreme Court.
On Monday, the Supreme Court of Argentina revealed that it has opened seven wooden champagne boxes containing Nazi propaganda, party membership documents, notebooks, pictures, and even postcards.
An employee of the court, who made the initial discovery during preparations for a new museum, had opened one of the boxes and reported finding materials apparently “intended to consolidate and spread Adolf Hitler’s ideology in Argentina, during World War II.”
The remaining six champagne boxes were opened on Friday at the court alongside members of the Holocaust Museum in Buenos Aires and the chief rabbi of the Amia Jewish community centre.
According to a press release from the Supreme Court, initial findings indicate that the boxes arrived in Argentina on June 20, 1941 alongside a shipment from the German embassy in Tokyo aboard the Japanese steamship “Nan-a-Maru”.
At the time, Nazi diplomats in Argentina claimed that the boxes merely contained personal items. However, concerned about the potential for neutral Argentina being drawn into the war, then-Foreign Minister Enrique Ruiz Guiñazú seized the boxes.
Concerns were raised that the propaganda found in the boxes could also be used to damage the democracies of Argentina’s allies.
