Some nazi submarines might have slipped through from Germany, but chances were not that great. Even when they were still in France, most submarines didn't get to the open sea from bay of Biscay, at the end nearly none. WWII submarines were mostly suface wessels, only exemption was Germany's latest and best submarine, but it too had to run on surface to recharge batteries.

Nothing could be further from the truth. The Allies were organized in many ways, but also completely over overwhelmed and constantly in motion. Towards the end of the war the allies were taking in millions and millions of German POWs and other "misplaced persons" and housing and feeding them.
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.
