They left their scars on the world even here, deep in the Amazon rainforest.
A few etched swastikas on a wooden cross and some grave markers reveal how the Nazis planned to create a colony for the glory of the Fatherland.
The graveyard and structures built by the fanatical explorers were left for decades, forgotten, to rot in the jungle.
But they were rediscovered during research for a book that chronicles the Nazis' madcap plan back in the 1930s to create an outpost for a master race thousands of miles from Germany.
The book, The Guayana-Projekt. A German Adventure On The Amazon, says Hitler's henchmen believed they were destined to settle the world like pioneers of America's Wild West.
The harshness of the Amazon appears to have defeated them, however.
On an island on a tributary of the River Jary, author Jens Gluessing found the 9ft-high wooden cross decorated with swastikas.
It carries the inscription: 'Joseph Greiner died here on 2.1.1936, a death from fever in the service of German Research Work.'
Mr Gluessing uncovered details and photographs of the expedition by digging through German and Brazilian archives.
He discovered that Greiner was one of three explorers sent out by S.S. race specialists in 1935 to explore the region bordering French Guyana with a view to populating it for the Reich.
They also had their sights on the neighbouring British and Dutch colonies.
The team sent back to Berlin details of how German soldiers could live in Brazil, even though their cover story was that they were collecting specimens of fauna and wildlife.
Dr Otto Schulz-Kampfhenkel, an officer in the S.S. and leader of the expedition which claimed Greiner's life, returned home to submit his findings to his boss Heinrich Himmler.
'The two largest scantly populated, but rich in resources, areas on earth are in Siberia and South America,' he wrote to Himmler. 'They alone offer spacious immigration and settlement possibilities for the Nordic peoples.'
As Siberia seemed likely to fall at that time to China, he recommended colonising 'Amazonia'.
He added in typical Nazi fashion: 'For the more advanced white race it offers outstanding possibilities for exploitation.'
Mr Gluessing found evidence, however, that Himmler lost interest in the plans. The architect of the Holocaust wrote to his emissary: 'Given time, the plan may be submitted again.' continues here

NB
Apologies for the tone of the article, of course you must realise the age in which we live, regrettably the victors in that so long ago conflict follow a counter western agenda and in doing so nationalism of whichever stripe must be negatively depicted.
