Investigative journalist Kevin Magee uncovers the work of Nazi party member and Irish scholar Dr Ludwig M眉hlhausen. M眉hlhausen spent six weeks in the Gaeltacht hamlet of Teileann in South Donegal in 1937, collecting folklore and improving his Ulster Irish, but that was not the only work he carried out while he was there. As Kevin reveals, in reality he was working as a Nazi spy, gathering information and passing it on to the Third Reich.

Kevin first visited Teileann 40 years ago to learn Irish. He has continued to visit there ever since and over the years he heard stories of M眉hlhausen鈥檚 visit to the area. Kevin decided to get the bottom of this mysterious tale once and for all. His investigation takes him from Donegal to Dublin and on to Berlin where he uncovers the real work M眉hlhausen was involved in the Nazi Party.

Fiosra铆onn an t-iriseoir Caoimh铆n Mag Aoidh sc茅al Ludwig M眉hlhausen, ball den ph谩irt铆 Naits铆och agus scol谩ire Gaeilge. Chaith M眉hlhausen s茅 seachtaine ar an bhaile bheag Gaeltachta Teileann i nDeisceart Th铆r Chonaill sa bhliain 1937, ag baili煤 b茅aloidis agus ag cur feabhais ar a chan煤int Ultach Ghaeilge ach n铆orbh 茅 sin an t-aon obair a bh铆 a dh茅anamh aige ansin. Mar a l茅ir铆onn Caoimh铆n, spiaire Naits铆och a bh铆 ann, ag baili煤 eolais agus a chur ar aghaidh chuig an Tr铆煤 Reich.

Thug Caoimh铆n cuairt ar Theileann den ch茅ad uair breis agus dh谩 sc贸r bliain 贸 shin agus t谩 s茅 ag tarraingt ar an cheantar 贸 shin. Thar na blianta chuala s茅 sc茅alta faoi chuairt an Dr M眉hlhausen chun na h谩ite. Bheartaigh Caoimh铆n na rafla铆 a fhiosr煤 agus f铆rinne an sc茅il a nochtadh. Tugann an fiosr煤ch谩n 茅 贸 Th铆r Chonaill go Baile 脕tha Cliath agus ar aghaidh go Beirl铆n, 谩it a bhfaigheann s茅 amach faoin phr铆omhr贸l a bh铆 ag M眉hlhausen sa ph谩irt铆 Naits铆och.
