On Sept. 5, 1938, the Nacista Party of an ineffectual little Hitler named Jorge González von Marées tried to stage a Putsch in behalf of onetime President General Carlos Ibañez del Campo.

...known that the defeated Rightist candidate, on his way to Europe, stopped off in Buenos Aires to confer with General Carlos Ibáñez, onetime Strongman of Chile, who was implicated in the Nacista uprising and is regarded by some Rightists as their white hope for another revolt.
