It would be easy for a small group of Nazis to hide with the displaced persons and make it to the coast.
I also believe some Nazi submarines surrendered or otherwise scuttled their ships in South America weeks after the war had ended.

Yes, allies had troubles with all the prisoners, but it wasn't chaos; especially regarding this submarine issue. There weren't that much "misplaced persons" at the sea, and especially with submarines. And even in the land there were rear echelon troops after rear echelon troops.
Of course they could have dressed Hitler as some grandma and taken quite easily to the coast, if Hitler would have just wanted that. Getting some submarine and traveling to Argentina is a tad harder to accomplish.
