re: #177 McSpiff

Id also like to see an explanation of how the Irish state supported the Axis. Preferably backed with sources.

Failure to provide support to halt the advance of a totalitarian combine with the express intent and purpose of subjecting the known world to its yoke is indistinguishable from supporting that totalitarian combine. Every nation not with the Allies was the equivalent, in its way, of another nation with the Axis.

Not to blame the Republic for the actions of the IRA, but there were many instances of known collaboration between the IRA and the abwehr during the War. Irishmen fought bravely for the Allies as part of British formations, of course.
