I think one day the conspiracy theory that Hitler and other head Nazis escaped to Argentina will be found to be true. There's just too much pointing to it.

There has been multiple debates but the answer is clear nothing the Nazi party ever did in medicine especially menegele ever discovered everything that's a lot of people's defense is that even though there experiments were unethical they helped medicine and no they did not they did not do a single thing except torture and cut open people for no reason

Wiki: Records indicate that the high frequency of twins predates Mengele's arrival to South America.

Yeah basically

FFS yes people please keep downvoting my comments. I'm sorry this conspiracy theory makes you feel butthurt and rattles your worldview but it is something that's actually possible with history changing ramifications. Get over it

I wonder how many random little towns across south America are predominantly German descent.

Pretty common. Some of them are or used to be exclusively German towns were people only talked german. Some extreme cases are the Mennonites towns in Argentina that still exist today, were men talk german in town and spanish when they travel to the cities, but woman's only talk german because they rarely travel outside the town.

The only thing that’s kind of a conspiracy theory is that Hitler lived and escaped, but that’s a pretty common theory. No one really knows. I think the downvotes you’re getting are for acting like we haven’t already confirmed that lots of other Nazis did make it to South America.

This gives too much credit to Mengele. His twin experiments had no scientific value, so there was no way he could have used those experiments to increase the rate of twin births.

There is a new movie called "Women Talking" that is based on a true story of a Mennonite colony in Bolivia. The men used animal tranquilizers on women and girls and raped them while they slept.

And just yesterday an article made the front page saying it was due to a specific yam variety that cause double ovulation to be so high.

Gotta slip the nazis in there somehow, though!

In the late 1950s, my family lived in a small, recently-built housing tract in Long Beach, California that counted 17 sets of twins, 3 sets of triplets, and 1 set of quadruplets all under the age of 12 in a total of 54 homes. I think it was some sort of national record, although no one could figure out if it was environmental or simply coincidence.

I do know that my youngest sister --who was conceived and born there-- ended up dying of early onset breast cancer at the age of 36.

The worst part is that it's still going on. There was a lot that was hinky about the "official" story, and many members of the community think it was basically a coverup for abuse by the victims' family members. The nighttime attacks continued after the men were jailed. Anesthetics also don't work the way the prosecution claimed. Canadian Mennonite's coverage goes into way more detail.
