Mar 29th, 2012 - 08:42 am - Link - Report abuse +1Knowing the Argentinians, the likelihood of anyone actually arriving on a plane at Montevideo would have been very low. They just would have dropped them off somewhere on the way.

My!! how history repeats!!
by the way, if you have a link to that “dunk-a-nun” story, send it way
thanks.
Here is the story about the guy who france wanted extraditing for the Argentinian national sport of throwing drugged nuns out of planes. (source: http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/10/04/us-argentina-france-nuns-idUSTRE7937JB20111004)
Mar 29th, 2012 - 10:27 am - Link - Report abuse 0Typically, Argentina refused to extradite him. He's probably now chief trainer in Le Camping.
@5 GreekYoghurt,
Mar 29th, 2012 - 11:01 am - Link - Report abuse 0Actually we captured the swine in South Georgia & despite pleas from both France & Sweden, we refused to hand him over.
Don't know what the deal was.
He should have been delivered to France.
French gaols are not good.
l believe that he personally shot a teenage Swedish girl in the back of her head.
He got life, l think in Argentina. He may have since died. Not sure.

Yes I agree the sentiment (Argentina 2012 vs Germany 1937) but what I don't get is the comparison between the Argentine military in 2012 and the German military in 1937. Because there isn't one.
Unless, of course, Argentina have been slaving away building a super dooper storm trooper army whilst nobody was looking then their threat, if not their intent, is empty.
@6 Isolde, he should have been, but the UK's reading of the 3rd Geneva Convention was that we weren't allowed to prosecute him in the UK or extradite him while he was a PoW.
Mar 29th, 2012 - 12:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Whether it is a correct interpretation is a matter best left to lawyers, and I'm all in favour of extending any benefit of the legal doubt to the defence in these things.
And so some more truth about argieland's intended ethnic cleansing. And was it different in '82? Who knows? Perhaps they had progressed on to slave labour with half a turnip, 4 slices of bread and a turn at the muddy puddle per day. Would the transports to Montevideo ever reached their destination? Probably easier for a transport vessel's crew to take to the boats after setting the scuttling charges. Timed to go off during darkness. Would British or UN observers have been allowed in? Doubtful. A “restricted” military area. Lots of “restricted” military areas in Nazi Germany. Mostly around the extermination camps and where the nazis were constructing huge underground factories and defences. Argieland. The new nazi Germany! and would it be any different NOW? Defeat. The dream destroyed. Who can doubt that argieland would destroy the witnesses?

I just learned the UK wanted to nuke the Irish during the IRA years. Learned it from an Irish neighbor of mine last Saint Patrick's weekend.
Will make sure everyone hears of this!

Mar 29th, 2012 - 07:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I was merely drawing a comparison between Argentina in the now, and Nazi Germany of 1937 vintage.
1937 Germany rounded up all it's “enemies” of the far right and left, strangled the free press, burned books that had the “Jewish” taint to them. and started the Hitler youth movement.
2012 Argentina introduced censorship of live T.V programmes, stopped the inport of book that have a certain “lead content” in them ( Yeah, Right ) and has “Le camping” or whatever it's called.
Surely you agree, there isn't a lot of difference between the two........
'“I learned it from a neighbor of ours who lives in Highland Park, Buenos Aires Province”

No, TTT.
Read down a little further to find the source.
@16 Massive similarities between 'Peronism' and 'Hitlerism' (sic) and you can tell by the ultranationalism, expansionism, extensive use of propaganda, media control, banning of foreign textbooks, hitler youth programme (le camping), et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

Yes I agree. All I am saying is that Nazi Germany had a socking great military force to back up its intentions. Argentina does not which, to my mind, makes them look all the more absurd.
Apart from this one detail, yes, I agree, the comparison is indeed striking.
Are we talking about this document?

Apr 01st, 2012 - 02:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I think the bastards name was Astiz. During the retaking of South Georgia, having surrendered, he tried lure the British helicopter carrying officers to take the surrender, on to a landing site he had rigged with explosives. I hope he is dead and his death was not a peaceful one. He was one evil bastard.
@ 23 you are right, that´s his name.

As for those using a so-called plan developed in the 60´s revealed during a lunch (?) to compare Argentina with nazy germany: chocke yourselves.
You don´t want to start a comparison on what´country-took-what-land-and-did-what-to-its-inhabitants because certainly The UK will walk away in shame ....
Grow up, and cut the nonsensess; it´s reaching “junta” level of paranoid ...
Alfredo Astiz kidnapped, tortured, and murdered, amongst many many others, the founder of the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, 17 year old Swede Dagmar Hagelin, and French nuns Alice Domon and Leonie Duquet. As well as the incident with the helicopter, after he surrendered he tried to lure a group of RMs into a minefield. Because of his blonde good looks he was known as “the angel of death”. A thoroughly nasty little shit who totally deserved to die painfully of pancreatic cancer.
