"Spiv" wrote in message ... The Germans bombed Dublin by mistake once by a lone plane which dropped bombs in a park or somewhere harmless. DeValera ordered all lights to always remain on and added more. This clearly was not to protect Dublin at all, it was a clear effective beacon to guide planes to Liverpool. The people of Liverpool never forgave the Irish for what they did. Now last time I checked Dublin was a LONG way from Liverpool so pray tell how having its lights could aid the Luftwaffe target that city ? Perhaps the Americans were helping by not blacking out NYC in 1940 ? How about the lights in Stockholm - were they a beacon pointing to Newcastle do you think ? Keith |
