Germany finishes paying WWI reparations, ending century of 'guilt'
Few people in Germany noted the country's final $94 million WWI reparations payment on Sunday. Some historians say that's for the best.

I realized that Germany agreed to make reparations payments to several countries and chose to stop paying from WW-I and after WW-II they stopped paying Russia (1950). There is a running debate about their obligations to pay Greece, today. But, after a recent visit to Germany, my well educated German guide told me that the Germans considered their war reparations payments complete and they they, the tax payers, were no longer paying a reparations tax.
