Talk:The Emergency (Ireland)

Moved from article space

This commentary was in the article proper rather than the talk page. I have cut and pasted it here.

(Correction)The Second World War appertaining to Ireland was not called The Emergency. It was called the Second World War. Look up the Irish newspapers during WW2. Ireland did not take part in WW2. It took certain measures to ensure that it not forced to take part. Those measures were known as The Emergency.

Whitewashed Eire signs

This tweet suggests that "Eire" was written on the rock at Bray Head in some manner to warn WW2 pilots that they were overflying a neutral country. Can someone expand on that; more information on the lookout posts and whitewashed rock signs (plus a map) in this article: EIRE for the Airmen: Guiding the Allies around the Irish Coast — OwenBlacker (talk; please {{ping}} me in replies) 10:43, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

There's an image at File:Eiresign.jpg too, though an aerial photograph would definitely be better — OwenBlacker (talk; please {{ping}} me in replies) 10:44, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

"Attitudes to the Holocaust"

It's naive for us today to assume that De Valera's government knew nothing about the Joint Declaration by Members of the United Nations in December 1942, or was it mentioned at any stage before the war's end?78.17.24.48 (talk) 19:51, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
