In this paper we consider the situation that a group G has a subgroup H which is a dihedral 2-group and with connected transversals A and B in G. We show that G is then solvable and moreover, if G is generated by the set AB, then H is subnormal in G. We apply these results to loop theory and it follows that if the inner mapping group of a loop Q is a dihedral 2-group then Q is centrally nilpotent.
