Best Answer

Ireland was neutral throughout the War, and had a lively (minority) Nazi party which would turn out to be of great advantage to fleeing Nazi war criminals in the immediate post-War years.

Invading Ireland would have been difficult (you have to go past the British Mainland) and pointless (Ireland was never at war with Germany).

Why would you?

Because it was too far away for an invasion plus the RAF would've shot any thing down. The sea was basically mined and at the time Ireland was part of the British empire so... you can work out what could happen. basically a far-fetched invasion
