Some interesting history here, it is mentioned that Ireland did not really know about the Nazi atrocities until the 1970s, I find that hard to believe...

Re: Otto Skorzeny
It is not saying that the Irish did not really know about it, in the 70's a lot of information became available that led to a lot of books being written and existing ones being updated. This brought about a lot of interest not only in Ireland but around the world.christel wrote:http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-30571335

It says to me that you were probably more welcome in Ireland after the second world war if you had worn a black uniform rather than a kahki one...go figure, who would have thought.

Understandable in the circumstances.
Re: Otto Skorzeny
Didn't De Valera send a telegram of condolences on the death of Hitler - what a nasty little man.

Ireland was neutral, Reichskanzler Adolf Hitler was head of a State Ireland was not at war. Protocol was well observed. BTW is there a country that did not send a message of condolences or a diplomatic representative on the death of Stalin ?

Re: Otto Skorzeny
De Valera in fact attended the German Embassy in Dublin to sign the Book of Condolence. It is also worth mentioning that he was American.
