German Bombers on the Blackstairs In-Person
'German Bombers on the Blackstairs' - a talk by Historian Barry Lacey.
During World War II Ireland was only a young country recovering from its own independence struggle and bloody civil war. While it remained neutral during World War II this didn't make it invincible to the actions of it. Even the remote Blackstairs mountains experienced the effects which this talk will discuss.
We will learn how the Shannon family of Knockroe were awoken one night when their rural home was bombed by a German bomber and also how less then a year later a German bomber fell victim to the Blackstairs mountain when it crashed near its summit.
