one would be surprised to know that the germans did not pay some countries WWII reparations.
In fact, Britain paid off its WWII loans from USA just last year. and the best part is, germany never paid any reparations to Britain for WWII damages.
another country Poland was also victimized by soviet russia on not gettiing reparations from germany.

Our WWII Allied bombings flattened and destroyed all major cities in Germany, inflicting many times over the damage suffered by Britain. After the war, the German economy roared back with the help of the Marshall Plan. Britain lagged and became known as the "sick man of Europe". Some Brits made excuses for their under-performance by blaming the fact that their factories were obsolete, while Germany was able to build brand-new efficient factories out of the war's ashes. A silly argument... but one that turns any logical case for reparations upside down.
Btw - Germany has paid billions in reparations to Israel over the years.
