I just read this very interesting review of a book about Ireland during the war. This country was neutral then and still is now, more for strategic rather than idealogical reasons.
It seems that compared to the blackouts all over Engalnd, Ireland (Dublin) was a den of iniquity well lit up and ready for business.
Ireland had a troubled relationship with Britain and this seemed to color the way officialdom approached the Allies. There was a really good documentary on recently about how Ireland sheilded many ex-Nazis in the country and how this was kept very hush hush. All very interesting how this stuff is only now coming out, due to official paers from the time being released to the public now....
