Some interesting history here, it is mentioned that Ireland did not really know about the Nazi atrocities until the 1970s, I find that hard to believe...

It is not saying that the Irish did not really know about it, in the 70's a lot of information became available that led to a lot of books being written and existing ones being updated. This brought about a lot of interest not only in Ireland but around the world.

It says to me that you were probably more welcome in Ireland after the second world war if you had worn a black uniform rather than a kahki one...go figure, who would have thought.

Understandable in the circumstances.

Didn't De Valera send a telegram of condolences on the death of Hitler - what a nasty little man.

Indeed he did.

Ireland was neutral, Reichskanzler Adolf Hitler was head of a State Ireland was not at war. Protocol was well observed. BTW is there a country that did not send a message of condolences or a diplomatic representative on the death of Stalin ?

De Valera in fact attended the German Embassy in Dublin to sign the Book of Condolence. It is also worth mentioning that he was American.
