Fascinating colourised British Pathe coverage following the dropping of three high explosive bombs on the North Strand/Summerhill area in the early hours, 31 May 1941 Terrible loss 28 killed 100 injured 300 houses destroyed German Government later accepts responsibility. Expresses regret #FMLH
"The Germans respect nothing. Latest evidence of this is their bombing of neutral AERA. Nazi planes dropped their loads of death over a wide area of Dublin, killing and injuring more than a hundred people. This is not the first Nazi air raid on AERA. There were three such incidents in January, but not so serious. The AERA government has protested to Berlin against the wanton attack on their professed neutrality, but unfortunately protests will not bring back the dead. Or heal the wounds of the injured. Maybe this is the price AERA has to pay for sitting on the fence."
