Talk:The Brylcreem Boys

Interned Allied Forces
The latest edition says that Irelend rather did not intern allied forces. This website: shows that there were some allied servicemen interned.

It says: ''On the 21 Dec 1940, five British airmen were interned. Two of these pilots were forced to land there Miles Master aircraft near Dundalk, Co. Louth, thinking it was Northern Ireland. They were:''

William A. Proctor from Blairgowie, Perthshire, Scotland.

Aubrey R. Covington from Kingston on Thames.

Three pilots baled out of their Blenheim bomber over Co. Donegal.

Sergeant     Douglas V. Newport.

''Sergeant     Sydney J. Hobbs. ''

Sergeant     Herbert W. Ricketts.

Allied internees were released by 1943, but the film describes the events 1940/41 (or 41/42 - correct me), so the situation was not as unlikely as it looks. Maybe just the number of Ally prisoners in the film is too big. Jasra 18:17, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
