Argentina was coerced into joining the war on the Allied side despite a sympathy for the Axis which existed to some degree (Juan Peron was a great admirer of Mussolini). Argentine cattle from the Pampas supplied British soldiers with much of the bully beef they ate. After the war Adolf Galland of the German air force joined Juan Peron's air force. Also, Argentina became a haven for Nazis escaping from war crimes charges, and Adolf Eichmann lived there until he was discovered and arrested by the Israelis.
