How Catholic was Hitler?

Isn't it true that Catholic Ireland was something of an Axis Power, sort of similar to Spain?

Nope like Spain Ireland was neutral . Thou the IRA were very sympathetic to Axis . And Irishmen  fought on both sides . And both the Axis And Allies planned an invasion of Ireland . And Ireland had many sympathizers in Germany as it held significance to both the Christian and minority pagan elements .

Did it really? I would have thought the Nazis would have viewed the Irish as untermencshen, since they were a relatively backward country.

I think though a lot of the reason for Nazis support among Ireland was just hatred for Britain, which until recently had been an oppressive colonial power there.

Kind of odd, but I can sort of see why the Nazis might sympathize with the Island.  The Irish founding fathers of the backward, Catholic/nationalistic democracy had sort of a reverence for Irish folklore, Irish mythology and the almost extinct language Gaelic.

Similary the Nazis loved the ancient myths of the past. Kind of figures really
