One exception: Eichmann *DID* escape to Argentina. The junta which seized power in the 70's helped shield him. Note that nobody liked the Videla regime which killed about 33,000 people (and true to his "heroe" with crematories).

Also, Kurt Tank didn't design the Marut when he got to India, it was designed in Argentina as the IA.43 and is one of two different designs that are often referred to, wrongly, as the 'Pulqui III' (the other one being a delta that looks like a cross between the FD.2 and Mirage I ) and he took his IA.43 with him to India and continued its development there.
EDIT 'the other one' being the IA.37 picture above in planemans post.

There is believed to be a smattering of fugitives in Bolivia, Brazil and Paraguay, but by far the most popular destination was Argentina. A government panel reported in 1999 that at least 180 Nazis facing criminal charges in Europe had moved to Argentina.
Hitler's succesor was tried if I am correct. Unless we are talking about a post-post occupation shadow nazi conspiracy it ended at that.
