Madam, – A great service has been done to Irish historical records in recent reports (by Michael Parsons) and correspondence. Much has surfaced about those camouflaged years in wartime neutral Dublin.
David Peter Fines’s industrious research (February 28th) into the Dr Hempel and the German legation’s activities makes it imperative that he investigates and publishes his findings relating to Mussolini’s Fascist Italy diplomatic chief, commendatore Vincenzo Berardis, Japan’s diplomatic chief, Setsuya Beppu, and even Spain’s envoy extraordinary, Don Juan García Ontiveros. Here be potential. – Yours, etc,
