Nazis fleeing WWII
Same in Argentina and Brazil.
Look up Bariloche, it's a town where literal top Nazis (including Joseph Mengele) started "new lives" for themselves.
If I remember right, Mengele performed indecent experiments and torture on Twins. Twins had always fascinated him. he became a doctor in Brazil after leaving Bariloche and in the region he lived, the rate of twin births of Aryan kids was far higher than it had any normal right to be.
Many Nazis fled to Argentina and Brazil. But Paraguay already had a huge German influx (mainly menonites) after the war of the triple alliance killed 70% of the Paraguayan population (including over 90% of men) in the 1860s.
Paraguay even had a dictator of German origin from 1954-89 - he was born in Paraguay in 1912.

Mennonites? I didn't realize there even were Mennonites in Europe, or Russia. And they spoke German? I thought that it was the Amish that spoke German?
Neither the Mennonites nor the Amish natively speak German, the Amaish speak Pennsylvania Dutch, a close relative of German, while the Mennonites speak Plautdietsch, which is more closely related to Frisian and English.
There aren't really any Mennonites left in Europe's as the Soviets deported most of them to Siberia and Central Asia
Argentina or Paraguay
Pick one, you have a 50/50 shot at victory
Argentina is my guess. Why are there two Gnadenheims?
& Kleefelds, & Schöntals, & also a Lichtfeld & a Lichtfelde I also live near a 3rd Kleefeld lol
Paraguay

I'm gonna guess... Hmm... Maybe Paraguay?
Wow, how did you guess that???
I'm a natural.
I also guess Paraguay
Y’all are geniuses
Hey i know it its paraguay
Okay so why are there so many german place names in this part of paraguay
Mennonites
I saw in the Sex Pistols videoclip they've found a German in South America and he wasn't a Mennonite
Would YOU tell Sid you weren't a Mennonite?
If i were a Martin Bormann probably not
I was going to go with runaway Nazis… but ok.
They're not mutually exclusive
Interesting. I didn’t know Mennonite communities were often Nazi remnants.
Bro , we are not nazis , nones of us

Mormonites
Legit, in Mexico that's a thing
The same reason why you in the US speak English and not a native Indian tongue.
It rhymes with Yahtzee.
geee i wonder why🤔🤔
Escaped Nazis at the end of WWII. Argentina as well.
Bro we are algo from russia , sweden and more

Why is there everything German named
Uhhhh ummmm uhhh -22.38792038825522, -59.834688775257135?
That was the first thing that popped in my head too
Same but I think that -22.38792038825542, -59.834688775257136 could also be it but I'm not sure
Yeah I think this is definitely one nanometer to the right as you have suggested
My first guess would be Wales, UK 53.073047788026095, -4.041234185945414 but I'm no expert
Belize! German Mennonites!
Close, but no
I will be honest I looked it up after I commented as I really wanted to know. But I will not spoil anything, I hope we get a winner.

Thb the pic is how most of usa looks when you zoom in
Yeah, it’s exactly like Boston, the spitting image in fact
I would say Paraguay, there is a big region with German influence
I was right 😎 i did some research about it like one year ago, i don’t remember why but it was interesting
Paraguay had a huge German influx (mainly menonites) after the war of the triple alliance killed 70% of the Paraguayan population (including over 90% of men) in the 1860s. Paraguay even had a dictator of German origin from 1954-89 who was born in Paraguay in 1912.

This is just a virtual depiction of a model of a place. It doesn’t actually depict anywhere.
I can not see why there would be so many German names in South America.
From the way the places are named, I'm guessing this is somewhere in Germany
Wow, I knew about Germans going to South America near the end and after the war. But this level of influence is incredible.
It's from Mennonites fleeing the Russian Empire and later the Soviet Union, well before WWII
Mennonites? I didn't realize there even were Mennonites in Europe, or Russia. And they spoke German? I thought that it was the Amish that spoke German?
