Believe this article should be renamed to Plan Green or "Plan Grün" - I'm easy.

The English word 'Plan' in German is "Plan".

[edit] Éire Vs Ireland

This article is in the English language and as such should not make reference to Eire (that being the Irish language name of the Irish state), I'm replacing all instances with Ireland. Note there is an (incorrect) assumption that Eire refers only to the 26 counties, this is untrue, it in fact refers to the Island as a whole as well as being the official Irish language name of the 26 county state. 84.203.136.82 14:29, 17 July 2006 (UTC)Niall Glynn84.203.136.82 14:29, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] contradictory information

I suggest that the sentance "However despite the propaganda, Green was a real military plan which was given real consideration." (which goes on to say "However, at the time Hitler seemed already convinced that any invasion should be by invitation only") in "Hitler's Views",

is either factually incorrect or could be reading better, due to this sentance:

"[In Plan Green] The Irish Forces were anticipated to give resistance to the initial invasion." in "Irish Defenses against Green"

As the first sentance implies Operation Green was given real consideration by Hitler, and that occupation would be by invitation only, yet the second states that Operation Green was an occupation plan that anticipated Irish Resistance.

Going on the facts in this article, an improvement would be: "However despite the propaganda, the occupation of Ireland Green was a real military plan which was given real consideration." --RickiRich 02:34, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
