President Éamon de Valera sent condolences to Germany upon hearing of Hitler’s death and called concentration camps "anti-national propaganda" to support the equivalence claim. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutral_powers_during_World_War_II https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Éamon_de_Valera#cite_note-92
