History

The National Socialist Movement of Chile (MNSCH) was founded in 1932. After it was dissolved in 1938, some of its notable former members migrated into the Agrarian Labor Party, obtaining high charges.[9] Other former MNSCH members formed new parties of that kind until 1952.[9]
Between 1937 and 1944, Nazi spy networks operated in Chile. After the Navy discovered their presence via radio, in 1941 the Chilean General Directorate of Investigations established the International Confidential Section (or "Department 50"), which investigated local Nazi activities until 1947.[10][2] The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation's Special Intelligence Service assisted Chilean officials in their efforts. Related records were subsequently maintained by the National Archives of Chile,[11] which in 2018 (on History's investigative documentary series Hunting Hitler) alleged the existence of a network of over 700 outposts resembling Chile's secretive Colonia Dignidad (which housed some Nazis),[12] as well as a concentration camp ostensibly run by former Schutzstaffel (SS) officer Walter Rauff, who supported Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet.[13] Senior SS officer Richard Glücks, believed to have died in 1945, was speculated to have escaped Germany, allegedly to Chile.[14][15]
A new Nazi Party was formed in 1964 by school teacher Franz Pfeiffer;[9] it organized a "Miss Nazi" beauty contest and formed a Chilean branch of the Ku Klux Klan[9] before disbanding in 1970. Pfeiffer attempted to reboot the party in 1983 amid a wave of protests against Pinochet's military dictatorship.[9]
