IRB, Stalin and Hitler

Submitted by red and black riot on 30 May, 2008 - 19:57.

I read on here a while back that the IRB or one of their leaders wanted a pact with Hitler and Stalin to fight the Brits. Am discussing this on Green Brigade, they are pissed off at me and want me to explain myself so can u help with details or recomended books or websites? Can't find much on google.

Do you mean the IRA? The IRB ceased to exist in 1916.

Anyway a pact with Hitler would be over stating it. Sean Russell asked the Nazis for guns. There's a statue of him in Fairview Park that got beheaded a few years back: [url=Enter URL here]http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=68249#comment98024[/url]

As for Stalin, there was a long history of 'Comunists' being in the IRA. There's also a bit on that in the above article.
