The details I added came from Irish Secrets by Mark M. Hull. I realise there are quotes and discussions appearing elsewhere that could be added from Ryan's time in Germany- please add them.
My specific interest is Imperial/Weimar/Nazi German Intelligence operations in Ireland 1900-1945 and I will try to fill in some of those stub 'Operation' articles as soon as possible.

- Well done on fleshing out this article in these areas. I wonder, though, would you be able to also improve its coverage of the remainder of Ryan's career? I know this may not be your particular interest, but I can't help feeling that the article is now slightly unbalanced in its focus on the Spain/WWII period, when Ryan's activities on the Republican left between 1929 and 1936 are also of importance. Obviously the best way to fix this would be to expand the rest of the article. I would be delighted to do this myself, but I'm about 4000 miles from the nearest library that's likely to have any information on the topic so can't! Palmiro | Talk 15:19, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

I've read somewhere that Ryan's story was the basis for the backstory of "Liam" in the book adaptation of the movie "The Eagle has Landed." Anyone have a source about that?
is it worth mentioning that frank ryan appears in a pogues song?
I'm confused by this man's ideology. How could a man who fought against Franco's forces in the Spanish Civil War, end up (seemingly) on the side of the Nazis? Incidentally, this is the second time I have posted this question. On the first occasion it was deleted. I wonder why? Millbanks 22:51, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
