WWII: Poland Demands $1.3 Trillion In Damages From Germany

Polish Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau has signed a diplomatic note to Germany concerning reparations for World War II.

Monday’s move comes after Poland’s ruling nationalists last month estimated Germany owed the country 6.2 trillion zlotys ($1.26 trillion).

Germany, Poland’s biggest trade partner, has said all financial claims linked to the war had been settled.

Zbigniew Rau said; “The note expresses the position of the Polish minister of foreign affairs that the parties should take immediate steps to permanently and effectively.

“To settle the issue of the consequences of aggression and German occupation.”

Lukasz Jasina, Poland’s foreign ministry spokesman, also said that Rau would raise the issue with his German counterpart Annalena Baerbock during her visit to Warsaw on Tuesday.

About six million Poles, including three million Polish Jews, were killed during the war and Warsaw was razed to the ground following a 1944 uprising in which about 200,000 civilians died.
