Rosa Schneider, or Eva Schmitz, her real name, was Obersturmbannführer during the Second World War in Germany. After the end of the war, she went by ship from Germany to Portugal, then from Portugal to Brazil, where she ended up in Argentina, only to evade the authorities for fear of being accused of war crimes. Now she uses the false identity called Rosa Schneider, pretending to be an innocent German woman with no dark past.
