Greek PM Antonis Samaras requested a report about the amount of money Germany owes Greece as reparations. Result: 162 billion Euro.
Thereof:
- 108 billion Euro reparations
- 54 billion Euro repayment of a loan Greece had to give to the Deutsches Reich
The 54 billion have more chances to pass.
Germany however claims it payed reparations already in course of several agreements.
However, if there is still a right to claim, Greece, a signer of the Agreement on German External Debts, declared anyway it will defer all claims until a peace treaty is signed. Well, the Allies and Germany are still in war - no peace treaty so far and Germany is still listed as enemy nation by the UN.
Germany´s share of EFSF/ESM payments (IMF money excluded) of 144,6 billion: 41,7 billion Euro.
Greece Says Germany Owes It ?162 Billion In War Reparations
History:
"Greece entered World War II on 28 October 1940, when the Italian army invaded from Albania, beginning the Greco-Italian War. The Greek army was able to stop the invasion and was even able to push the Italians back into Albania, thereby winning one of the first victories for the Allies. The Greek successes and the inability of the Italians to reverse the situation forced Nazi Germany to intervene in order to protect her main Axis partner's prestige. The Germans invaded Greece and Yugoslavia on 6 April 1941, and overran both countries within a month, despite British aid to Greece in the form of an expeditionary corps."
