That's a lot of money... that none of us will see... "Most of the war reparations go to private individuals, pension funds and corporations holding debenture bonds."

does that mean the US needs to foot the bill for Iraq and Afghanistan?

ha ha haaaa, i had the same thought... Although I didn't have a clue that the first world war was still being paid for, let alone Germany having been "fined" in the first place... that's a hell of a slap in the mouth after the attrocities that had just taken place... Kinda twisted really.

And of course, the sad thing is, is that those reparations were one of the reasons (along with many others) that they did it all over again a few years later
