Abstract

The article highlights Lord Mayor Jim Hickey's refusal to welcome the German battleship Schlesien in Cork, Ireland due to the Nazi insult to Pope Pius XI in February 1939. Topics include the diplomatic tensions between the Vatican and Nazi Germany, the impact of Hickey's decision on international relations, and the subsequent reception of the German ship in Cobh, where normal courtesies were extended despite Cork's snub.
