My Life for Ireland (German: Mein Leben für Irland) is a NS propaganda movie from 1941 directed by Max W. Kimmich, covering a story of Irish heroism and martyrdom over two generations under the occupation of the evil British.
The film covers the story of two generations of an Irish nationalist family starting with Michael O’Brien (Werner Hinz) and following with his son, also Michael (Will Quadflieg), eighteen years later in 1921.
The film commences in Dublin in 1903. A squad of police officers break into a thatched hovel and evict the family, throwing a young child to the floor. However they are ambushed by a group of Irish Nationalists and a long fire fight ensues. Michael O’Brien is captured and is sentenced to death. While he is in jail, his pregnant fiancée Maeve visits him and they are secretly married. Afterwards, Michael hands his wife a silver cross that would always be worn by the best Irish freedom fighter. On the cross, the words My life for Ireland are engraved.
Eighteen years later, in 1921, his son Michael Jr. is expecting to pass his school leaving exams. As the son of an infamous Irish nationalist, he has been educated at St Edwards College, a school run by British teachers. This way the British government wanted to re-educate Irish pupils into „worthful“ British civilians.

There are two fundamentally different kinds of speakers: those who use reasoning, and those who speak from the heart. They reach two different sorts of people, those who understand through reason, and those who understand through the heart. Speakers who aim for the reason are generally found in parliaments, those who speak from the heart speak to the people.
Σήμερα, 30 Ιανουαρίου, εορτάζουμε τον ΠΡΩΤΟ μεγαλειώδη θρίαμβο του Εθνικοσοσιαλισμού το 1933.
Στην εν λόγω ημερομηνία, πριν 82 έτη, ο Αδόλφος Χίτερ ανήλθε στην εξουσία στη Γερμανία και έδειξε το είδος της κοινωνίας στο οποίο οι Λευκοί λαοί — οι Άριοι — πρέπει να διαβιούν.
Αυτό είναι το μεγαλειώδες, μοναδικό γεγονός της σύγχρονης ιστορίας, το οποίο συνεχίζει να μας εμπνέει όσο κανένα άλλο, και το οποίο είναι ο προάγγελος μίας ακόμη πιο μεγαλειώδους Εθνικοσοσιαλιστικής νίκης που μέλλει να έλθει, μιας νίκης για την οποία, εμείς τώρα αγωνιζόμαστε σύμφωνα με τις επιθυμίες και την θέληση του Αδόλφου Χίτλερ.
ΖΗΤΩ Η ΝΙΚΗ!
DAY OF VICTORY!
Today, the 30th of January, we celebrate theFIRST great triumph of National Socialism in 1933.
For on that date, 82 years ago, Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany and showed us the kind of society in which white people — Aryans — are to live.
It is that great, singular event of modern history, which continues to inspire us as no other, and which is the harbinger of an even greater National Socialist victory yet to come, one for which we now strive in accordance with Adolf Hitler’s wishes and will.
