Irish Embassy

[Mata O'Hara]

I am researching details regarding Berlin 1939-1945. Specifically can anyone furnish me with the original address for the Irish Embassy in Berlin during that period. I know it was blown up in 1943 but am having no success with a physical location.

It is my belief that the Irish Embassy was involved with some black propaganda work carried out by PWE undercover agents. Ireland was neutral in essence as an expression of its independence from Britian, but I also think that boundary was liquid.

Any help gratefully received

many thanks

Mata

The answer can probably be answered by Irish National Archives in Dublin (Diplomatic Archives) or at UK National Archives in Kew.
It is many years since I did research in Dublin so cannot give any info from there.

Bletchley Park was decoding the diplomatic radio traffic from the Irish in Berlin back to Dublin (HW 12 series).
So if you know the approximate date, go check the volume for that date.
They probably told Dublin of a change of address.
