A huge collection of Nazi artifacts was discovered hidden behind a bookcase in Argentina

Natacha Pisarenko (Associated Press)Members of the federal police show a bust relief portrait of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler at the Interpol headquarters in Buenos Aires, Argentina.Earlier this month, police in Argentina raided the home of a man suspected of stashing shelves and shelves of old Nazi memorabilia. What they found was a door leading to a room full of Nazi knives, sculptures, medical devices, magnifying glasses, and a large bust portrait of Adolf Hitler.

"There are no precedents for a find like this," head of Argentina's federal police Nestor Roncaglia told the Associated Press. "Pieces are stolen or are imitations. But this is original and we have to get to the bottom of it."

"There are objects to measure heads that was the logic of the Aryan race," Argentina's Security Minister Patricia Bullrich told the Associated Press.

Investigators are currently trying to figure out how such an extensive collection of Nazi memorabilia made it into the South American country, where several Nazi officials fled at the end of World War II.

Here is the disturbing collection of Nazi artifacts that spent years collecting dust in one man's northern Buenos Aires apartment.
