 Germans also came to Ireland, the most notable of whom was Hermann Görtz, who was captured in possession of "Plan Kathleen" — an IRA plan that detailed a Nazi supported invasion of Northern Ireland.On the occasion of the death of Adolf Hitler, Irish "Taoiseach" (Prime Minister) Éamon de Valera paid a controversial visit to German ambassador Eduard Hempel to express sympathy with the German people over the death of the Führer.A few Irish people served in German forces; for example James Brady and Frank Stringer served in during 1944-1945 and were court-martialed and imprisoned after the war.
