These cities, as many others in Brazil, have grown several times since 
then. The bad thing is Brazil still exports coffee to Europe (mainly 
German and Italy) and imports "espresso" capsules from there - it's not 
clever, I know.

I hope you are not referring to African descendants, because I strongly 
condemn racism - and I descend from Portuguese (Caucasian Europeans).

This driver was one of the world's dumbest thieves (smashing his own 
windshield).

I think that in 1958 three sailors could have won a brawl with that 
stupid thug. Nowadays in Rio, São Paulo, Mexico City, London, Rome and 
many other big cities in the world we find thieves using knives / guns 
that rarely attack their prey without accomplices in the shadows. But of 
course it's more likely that someone gets hurt or is killed by a thief 
in Latin America than in Europe.

Yes, it seems many Nazis fled to South America in the postwar and some 
have been killed by the Mossad overseas. Mengele died in Brazil:
