I had no idea Ireland’s government was so depraved. That is completely sick hoping Germany would beat England just because it was England, without looking at what Germany was doing which was murder and robbery.
Ireland’s government was evil and awful. These soldiers should sue it out of existence.
There was a lot of that going around. IMO, "evil and awful" is the final stage of all governments.
To be fair, we allied with Joe Stalin, on exactly the same notion that the enemy of my enemy and all that.
And we were right to do so.
During WWII the Brits had a secret plan in place for the conquest of Ireland if necessary.
