| Résumé : | The poet and novelist Francis Stuart's sojourn in Germany during the Second World War ad his broadcasting activities for the Nazis remain a cnamh spairne among historians and journalists alike. Assessments of his radio talks range from that of his biographer who described them as being of 'a literary or semi-literary' character, to that of Kevin Myers, who equated the broadcasts with 'voluntary siding with the most bestial régime in the history of civilisation'. It is the purpose of this article to evaluate and contextualize the broadcasting activities of Francis Stuart from Nazi Germany to Ireland during the Second World War. The sources drawn upon consist almost exclusively of archival material, including the transcripts of his broadcasts in the Irish Military Archives, Department of External Affairs correspondence from the National Archives, and a wealth of broadcasting and diplomatic files lodged in the archives of the German Foreign Ministry |
