In Ireland they had large shelters built by a group of volunteer miners and builders. Her farther worked for the LDF. At my school, in the classroom we had a massive radio and in our class everyone stayed quiet and listened to the news on the radio. One day my dad came home with a dartboard and and a pciture of Hitler's face on it. I was taken at the age of 3 with my baby sister to recieve a gas mask. The Irish had ration books just like the British, they had rations on books, butter, sugar, tea were all rationed and a couple more items which I cant remember. There where items which we never saw like bannanas, oranges, coffee. I was the oldest of 5 children, and I lived in a very poor family. We did have enough money however to fill ourselves up. We also had a maid working for us at the time. I read lots and lots of magazines with horrific pictures of the concentration camps. My father was in hospital for 2 years with Tb and having lost a kidney. The LDF used to go on duty and they had to learn how to use a gun and look after people. Often when German planes were doing a U-turn round they flew over Cork. Often when German planes were doing there U-turn they dropped there spare bombs on the Irish coast. Because Ireland was neutral they did nothing. Althought thousands of Irishmen joined up to the British Army in World War 2
