Hi Captain Bligh,

Spies were landed but U-boats were not re-supplied by putting into Irish ports.

The records of the individual U-boats have survived the war as have much of U-boat command's records and there is no reference to any U-boat ever putting into an Irish port. The standard reference on U-boats putting into foreign ports during the war is:

Showell, Jak P. Mallmann. U-boats at War Landings on Hostile Shores. Shepperton: Ian Allan Publishing Ltd., 2000. ISBN: 1-55750-864-X. Copyright: Jak P. Mallmann Showell, 2000. and of course it doesn't mention it either. Note that Chapter 1 is dedicated to Ireland.

This topic has been studied for years without anyone uncovering any such case either. This is a very well known myth and it has been covered on this forum a number of times.

See: [www.uboat.net]

Of course you can speculate all you wish but that won't make it true. :)

Regards,

Ken Dunn
