trying to be nice here VB. This blokes a good one, gives up his citezenship to fight for us and then when he escapes from an admittedly not very well guarded proson camp we brits put on the old stiff upper lip and tell him its not bloody cricket to escape and back he jolly well goes. Different times.

Ah we Irish knew how to run a war !!! this explains why the Nazis bombed Dublin

That story would make a bloody great movie

Didn't know Dublin was bombed. So how comes Liam Devlin joined the Nazis to help Oberst "you were only supposed to blow ze bloody doors off" Steiner catch the great Winston Churchill? Other than trying to bag the pretty young Jenny Agutter and whistle at dogs that is.

WWI aviators has long been a topic of interest for me.

This is a good thread. A lot of historians and authors post here and a lot of research is posted freely, much of it changing long accepted historical narratives.

I've been studying German for about 10 minutes on Google Translate so I am a bit of an expert. It would be Echo und der Hasemänner.
