I would love to see the facts to back up this statement.
The Irish position was officially neutral, (though they where more biased towards assisting the allies than the axis powers),during the second world war
They (the Irish Government), called this period of time The Emergency. Although a few Irish people, (mainly the IRA), thought they may be able to take advantage of the situation and perhaps get a united Ireland if Germany won, over two hundred thousand Irish men and women volunteered to serve in the British forces for the duration of the war many of whom made the ultimate sacrifice fighting for our freedom.
