Former Belgian Nazi collaborator Paul van Aerschodt, 88, who was sentenced to die in 1946 but escaped told a newspaper he had met top Nazi Martin Bormann (pictured) four times in La Paz, Bolivia, around 1960.
"Bormann had come from Paraguay and was plotting with some 20 officers a coup to overthrow (dictator Juan) Peron in Argentina," van Aerschodt said.
He claims Bormann,calling himself Augustin von Lembach, passed himself off as a priest and celebrated masses, weddings and funerals and administered the last rites to the dying.
German authorities say Bormann died in 1945 after remains found in Berlin in 1972 were identified as his.
The identification was confirmed by DNA in 1998 but some skeptics believe the remains had been brought from elsewhere to be reburied in Berlin.
