>>6433634Pulp fiction bad guys were usually Nazi villains because uniforms looked so good in artwork. Pulp fiction writers loved to put Nazis in settings where they would be surrounded by beautiful women, the more exotic, the better. Latin America is a common location because of all the dangerous jungle wildlife that make good pulp fiction, like gators, lobsters, giant frogs, snakes, lizards, bears, wild cats, and so on. It's easy to imagine Nazis roaming the jungles of Latin America in search of temples and treasure, just like in Indiana Jones. After all, there are ancient pyramids in the rain forest, and some of the Nazis did go to Latin America after the war.
From what I've seen or read, Adolf Hitler and the top Nazi leadership (Himmler and Hess, particularly) were big believers in the occult. They sent out expeditions all over the planet with teams of researchers, including astrologists, historians, archaeologists, and scientists, to seek out ancient treasures that might possess some sort of supernatural powers, including the Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant. Google Nazi+occult for lots more info.
There are all sorts of legends about Nazi connections to UFOs and extraterrestrial technology. John Lear, the son of Bill Lear, the creator of Lear jets, is very outspoken about how much tech he believes the Nazis got from UFOs, and he points to the Nazi invention of jet airplane and V2 rocket as evidence of his claim. Very easy to dismiss as /x/ tinfoil hat lunacy, but the guy is a very wealthy and highly educated person, and he is the FAA's most certified pilot ever, so he does have amazing credentials. Google John Lear for more info.
It's sort of funny to see how far out there some of the pulp fiction stories can be, and then you find out that there are historical anecdotes that are true and even more extreme than the fictional ones.
