The reason for the bombing is still a mystery. The usual suggestion that the bomber was lost doesn't really ring true. Dublin is by my guess some 70-80 miles from the border and though such a wide navigational error is possible and did occur in other places we have to remember that Dublin was brightly light up and the crew would have been aware they were over a neurtral city.
Another possible reason put forward was that it was an attempt by the Nazis to force the republic into the war although their apology for the raid seems to count against this theory.
Most likey is that the raid was a quite deliberate one off attack on Dublin as reprisal for the assistance that the Dublin firebrigade had given to the North during the Belfast Blitz earlier in the war - A sort of "we know where you live" threat!
The truth has been finally revealed by the German Air Force, the Luftwaffe were using woman pilots.
