I don't understand the timeline of this piece. The US did not join the war until December 1941 and then only did so because Hitler declared war on it. In the period before September 1941 there was no plan at all to station US troops in Northern Ireland. The US refused to join the war, leaving Britain to do all the fighting. So how could the Germans fear that American troops based in Northern Irelands would invade the South? And give America's long record of financing IRA terrorism against the UK, why would the South be a target?
