Greece with the strong-arm tactics against Germany

The Greek government has threatened to seize German property as compensation for World War Two.

But what does Germany owe Greece, if anything, and why?

How could the money be reclaimed?

The Supreme Court ruling allowed for German-owned property to be seized as compensation though it was never acted on by then-Justice Minister Michalis Stathopoulos.

Among possible assets are property belonging to Germany's archaeological school and the Goethe Institute, a cultural association.

Athens demands compensation for atrocities committed during World War Two, but Berlin insists issue has been settled.

Greece's newly elected leader has reignited the debate over reparation and compensation for past injustices.

Alexis Tsipras says Germany owes Greece more than $170bn for atrocities committed during the Nazi occupation in World War Two.

The demand is likely to further strain relations between two countries already squabbling over Greek demands to renegotiate the terms of a $260bn bailout.

Germany insists the question of wartime compensation has been settled.

But in a passionate address to parliament, Tsipras maintained that a deal reached in 1960 did not go far enough.

He said: "This agreement did not concern compensation for the damages suffered by the country, but compensation for the victims of Nazism in Greece. And of course, in no case, did it concern either the forced occupation loan or claims for damages due to war crimes, due to the nearly total destruction of infrastructure in the country and the dissolution of the economy during the war and occupation."

But can apologies and compensation bring closure? Or should crimes committed during past conflicts be consigned to history?

I hate people that do this. They ask to borrow $100 and then when it's time to pay remind you of the time they bought that round of shots or whatever.

what a joke


the people of modern day Germany owe Greece absolutely nothing.


If I were Merkel I would annex Greece and distribute her property to taxpayers who funded the bailout and deport the Greeks to Macedonia.

All potential creditors must be looking on like

it's irrelevant, they already settled in the 60's, If Greece wants to sue Germany if they even can it has nothing to do with the negotiations that are happening now.
