State Policy is not a decent excuse. When was this policy abolished? Surely they would have the power to quash the policy there and then?

John Amery was the only one executed. Google British Free Corp
Thats your opinion.I know he signed the book himself.

Don't know when it was abolished, its assumed De Valera's viewpoint was that not sending it would further have damaged our claim of neutrality - his opinion, not that of his civil servants.
To claim however that sending a telegram in line with state policy = tacit or real support for Nazi Germany is ludacrious. Just the kind of claim algie loves to make...

Except he didn't sign a book at all. You "know" apparently - were you standing beside him? Obviously not as you claimed only to "believe" where he signed it earlier.

Here they are. Apparently never got more than about 46 or so volunteers, mostly former BUF supporters and dissafected losers.
Apparently disbanded in 45 and members placed in regular SS units where they fought the commies.
It's well known the Irish support for the Germans.Not forgetting Irish spies either.

I think there were very few BUF members in the Free Corp

Well known to you perhaps; but not to the majority of the world who aren't paranoid conspiracy theorists. The country was neutral and if anything leant towards the UK, exporting huge volumes of food, allowing ingress in to our air space and providing assistance to Northern Ireland when it was bombed.
Additionally, our state papers are releasted unredacted after 30 years, which shows that there was no support for Germany and it also shows that, despite your desperate claims in this thread, de Valera never signed a condolence book for Hitler - his daily scheduled as Taoiseach was legally recorded and verified.
Care to explain your theory of "Irish spies"?

IRA plotted with Nazis to invade Northern Ireland - Telegraph

f***ing hell Spencer, I've just unbanned myself as that comment is way out of line.
The vast majority of the Irish people supported the Allies in the war. There were some Nazi sympathisers, just as there were some BRITISH Nazi sympathisers too, what they had in common was that they were all arseholes.
There were Russian spies educated at Cambridge, it doesn't mean that everyone from that six fingered City is a Commie though does it?
It is wrong to apply sweeping generalisations to complete nations.
p.s I'm now banning myself again x

I remember, growing up in Liverpool, that a lot of people were convinced that The lights of Dublin during the blackout helped the Luftwaffe find their way to The Mersey...only later did I think, hang on, thats a bit of a detour there! and figure it out to be total skollobs.
fact is thousands of irishmen volunteered to fight with us against the Nazis, just because some in the republican groups would support ANYONE against the British doesnt mean Ireland was guilty of wholesale collaboration.
