i'm not so much surprised of it. Brazil and Argentina were the countries where refuged great part of nazi leaders escaped from Europe, there should live a lot of their descendants.

it has nothing to do with Nazism. The German immigration began in the 19th century

yes i know, i'm not sayng that all brazilian of german descents are nazis :p,
but South America was the continent where refugeed great part of nazi leaders ecaped from europe after the second world war,
in the video are shown people making the roman salute, it is not part of german culture, but only nazi one, so i presume that those people are nazi supporters.

I agree in part with you. Great part these germans are not nazi supporters, this is a tradition in the interior of Santa Catarina, normal. But, many germans imigrants from southern brazil fighting for Germany in WWII:

I know that many fought in the War and took refuge in Brazil, but I speak German and I can understand a little the dialect he speaks in the video and not having to do with Nazism ..
