A controversial film that examines the collaboration of the Army of the Republic of Ireland with the Nazi State in Germany during the Second World War. The two organizations came to an agreement for when the war got to England and the country was invaded. The Irish took 30 thousand men out of the army in the early thirties. The military lent submarines to the Germans, trained parachute troops, and supplied up-to-date maps of the regions to be invaded. However connivance, was marked by errors in communication and by much mutual mistrust. The film shows the incompetence of the Irish army and a strange inefficiency on the part of German bureaucracy. The film also tells the story of men captured, imprisoned, and interrogated about events they knew nothing about, and the destruction of all by the Nazis themselves when Berlin was invaded, to mask crime.
