Before volunteering for Abyssinia my father had a relationship with a German girl in Bavaria

Note *3. Before volunteering for Abyssinia my father had a relationship with a German girl in Bavaria...Munich I believe, although he visited at Nuremberg as well..Apparently he traveled backwards and forwards from the UK. On his last occasion there he was having a meal in a restaurant when two men, dressed in trilby brimmer hats and long leather coats, stood in the door way and shouted out his name. The Gestapo had come for him and it seems they didn't approve of his relationship with the German girl...whether it was due to the fact of his mother's Jewish family or the girl's I don't know. He was probably lucky he was an Neutral Irish National, for otherwise he may have been detained, although at this stage Britain and the UK were not at war.. The Germans had the name of every Jewish person and family in the British Isles going back to a grandparent to qualify. My father's mother would have been regarded as 100% due to her mother's status, at the very least, making myself, and siblings and cousins, also a candidate qualifying for the camps at Auschwitz and elsewhere...The Germans on the conquest of the British Isles were going to round up all the Jews and deport them to the camps along with other such as Communists etc..Bavaria would have been handy for the Gestapo as that was were Dachau, and Flossenberg, were situated; so my father's Irish Nationality saved him from going to that local concentration camp.
