ELI5 What was Argentina a believed hotspot for Nazis during and after WWII?

I've noticed this throughout my adult life, but I just don't get it. Why Argentina? What made it stand out to Nazi High Command?

German speaking people from all over Europe started emigrating to Brazil and Argentina in the 1870s, and continued to do so in fairly significant numbers right up until 1939, and of course after the war.

What makes Argentina kind of different is that a lot of those people lived in enclaves all over the country and continued to speak German and follow German customs, and continue to do so right up to the present day.
