Original Note:
The claim that Seán Russell was a nazi is untrue. He was an IRA leader who approached the Soviets, Americans and Germans to purchase weapons. Even British intelligence noted he had “shown considerable reticence towards the Germans” and considered nazism “as anathema” https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/letters/sean-russell-s-wartime-dealings-with-nazi-germany-1.375398
