Ireland, Switzerland, and Sweden never received the approbation they deserved for their “neutrality”. The Swiss and Swedes enriched their coffers with the wealth gained from ding germany with weapons, machine tools, and raw materials. The Swiss dealings regarding the Jews are well known, and Swedish socialism was paid in part by money from germany which bought iron ore and tungsten steel used in Tiger tanks and 88mm AT shells.. The govt of Eire did not actively provide military supplies but Irish cities remained lit at night,giving Luftwaffe bombers refenence navigation points, and the refusal to allow the Royal Navy and later the U.S. Navy the facilities around Cobh ( Queenstown) created a far larger stretch of ocean which convoys had to traverse without the umbrella of land based air. this added to the losses suffered and merchant seamen lives lost until the defeat of the U Boat at the end of 43. But I had never heard of this. All I can say is DISGRACE!!

If your country had been held in slavery by the British, raped, mass murdered, and looted (including exporting food from Ireland while the people were starving) you wouldn’t find the conduct so disgraceful. In fact if you did think it was OK to support such people, then you’d be as big a dirtbag as the scummy British were. And by the way, it was recently admitted that Churchill started the terror bombing in WWII when they found themselves losing the war. So murdering German civilians was OK as long as it supported the war effort? Churchill was just as big a stinker as Hitler ever was. You have just bought into English propaganda. Churchill himself said at Nuremburg that had the Allies lost the war that he would have been in the dock. Most people think this was because even though innocent that those nasty Germans would have been picking on him. Churchill however, knew better. He was a highly literate murdering bastard.
