Yes, all of them
The good news story we were waiting for. It’s like when they found Captain America in the ice
I always knew Éire did her bit to help the Allies during The Emergency. What I didn’t realise was just how above and beyond the call of duty she went as a neutral country.
Shhhh, don’t fucking tell anyone
A very good account…

I’ve developed an interest recently in the role of smaller and/or “neutral” European nations in World War 2.
Scandinavia, Netherlands, Spain etc.
There was some heroic stuff went on. And some horrific stuff too like some of the Dutch ratting out their fellow countrymen just for being Jewish for a few guilders per head.
I’ve always thought the Dutch are a less than admirable nation. They’d have been happy enough in the Reich you feel.

I’d say you are not far wrong.
More far right …

I thought you might enjoy this thread @Fagan_ODowd. Waterford city has a fascinating history. I did a walking tour there last summer and really enjoyed it.

You orange bastard
I did my best as a 15 year old ringer.
I even took the first penalty in the shoot out. I was very honest and naive and placed the ball in the penalty spot. I didn’t my best to kick it out of it and hit the target. But unfortunately for me the keeper made a handy save.
After that the ref allowed lads to place the ball to the side of the penalty hole. We ended up winning 3-2 I think was the score in the end.
Back then for a few scoops and I got my red lemonade.
