For Germany after World War II, the Allies did not ask for too much compensation except for some compensation to several countries. Mainly to prevent the resurrection of fascism and repeat the mistakes of World War I. Secondly, to restrict Bolshevism in Europe through Germany and suppress the Soviet Union! The German government has always attached great importance to the issue of post-war compensation, and offered a lot of compensation on its own initiative. As early as September 27th, 195 1, German Chancellor Adenauer solemnly declared in Parliament that Nazi crimes were committed in the name of in the name of people and Germany, so Germans should take moral and material compensation as their obligation. By 1953, the war reparations paid by East and West Germany to the victorious countries were 82.4 billion marks, about 33 billion US dollars, almost equivalent to the gross national product of West Germany in 1950, and compensation will continue in the future. Eight years after the reunification of Germany, the issue of compensation was put on the agenda again. In the 54 years after the war, Germany paid compensation from three aspects: the war compensation was about 654.38+00 billion marks; The individual compensation for Nazi victims is about 654.38+002 billion marks; The compensation for German industry and enterprises is about 755 billion marks. German government and enterprises are quite active in salary. Although the German government once worried that the claim would become a "bottomless pit" and thought that there should be an end, the compensation work continued.
