Nazi plans to invade Ireland revealed

It is possible that these efforts heightened the state of alert and cause of alarm in Britain and convinced the British to expend a lot of effort in trying to convince the Irish government to abandon neutrality and side with the Allies at the time Hitler seemed already convinced that any landing should be by invitation only: "..a landing in Ireland can be attempted only if Ireland requests help. For the present our envoy [assumed to be Dr. Eduard Hempel of the German Legation] must ascertain whether De Valera desires support and whether he wishes to have his military equipment supplemented by captured British war material (guns and ammunition), which could be sent to him in independent ships. Ireland is important to the Commander in Chief, Air, [Göring] as his base for attacks on the north-west ports of Britain, although weather conditions must be investigated. The occupation of Ireland might lead to the end of the war."[7]

This article is total codswallop. It is a piece taken from 2-3 different sources. 1 of which is Tom Clonans Irish Times article which is itself highly subjective and full of his own conjecture. The other is Operation Green, which there is more proof to say it was a simple bluff to get the Brits expending resources away from the Germans. The intention was to spread rumours that German forces were preparing a landing in Ireland to stranglehold Britain further, reinforcing the current "siege"

Christisall the crank a scary neo-fascist racist she's gotta be from the deep south.

Perhaps you should move Christisall?

Nice one Monsoonman. Is christall fighting or playing hockey? maybe she's figure skating. She sure is an angry lady. I've had postings pulled using gentler language.

Sean lad...Same thing as when I went to see a fight and a hockey game broke out...go figure.

to Irish and proud: YOu are so right. Obummer is a loser, a disgrace, a Muslim, a socialist, an arrogant black, a narcissistic creep, an inexperienced dud, a know-nothing, married to a hater of the USA. He needs to be gone. He is ruining the USA.

This is one of the best arguments for arming citizens.

All I wanted was the great man to caddy for me, see what happens when you mention golf Monsoonman.

ZerObama won't have to be locked up. He'll be voted out. He's already on the ropes in the USA -- just ask his party, nowadays.

Locked up? I doubt he would be locked up and IF that ever happened it would be after Cheney and Bush were. But ya gotta love that sense of humor ya have :-)

aye Sean me boy, you can have obama, if he's not locked up by then. Come out to the left coast and we can chase the golf balls, lots of Aussies here, you'll fit right in.

could be in U.S of A early next year, as far as caddies are concerned I'm afraid to answer the question .Could I have Obama as a caddy if we catch up?

Were the Nazis into golf? I am not sure those uniforms with the peaked caps and big black leather boots were conducive to a good golf game. I wonder who caddied for them?

LOL Sean! If you want a sure fire way of keeping your score low just play until you get to 70 then quit no matter what hole you are on...Maybe we can shoot a round together in the future, we just won't discuss politics or religion.
