Lyr Req: Oh here's to Adolf Hitler

An article came up in a BS thread that had this for a title.
The article was about the IRA's support for Nazi Germany in WW2.
No mention is made of the origin of the title but it sounds like a contemporary song. If so it would be a rarity. An English language pro Hitler song.
Here is a link to the article, but as I said, it gives no clue to the song.

Perhaps it went to the tune of Wearing of the Green?

ie
Oh here's to Adolf Hitler,
Oh it is the saddest country,

Could it be a parody of "Here's to good old beer"? Something like:

Oh here's to Adolf Hitler, knock him down, knock him down, etc ....
