241 ITALIAN INVOLVEMENT IN WORLD WAR 2

Breen (Dan) A.L.S., 2pp. on Dail Eireann notepaper, 11.9.43, to his friend and Republican Colleague Jim Babington, discussing the

progress of the World War after Italy’s attempt to change sides. ‘The Popes and Italians have failed in their treachery Rommel will

beat Hell out of the damn lot. The leakage is now stopped and I hope no stone will be left stand there. I know you will not like me

to be anti-Pope but I want to be quite candid, no orange men can be more bitter against him... . If anything happens to me, you

will know why. The gov. is very weak...’ w.a.f.

A typically forthright effort.
