On September 26, 2010 — 92 years after the WWI officially ended — Germany made her last payment of $94 million in reparations “to private individuals, pension funds and corporations holding debenture bonds as agreed under the Treaty of Versailles.”
Too bad we cannot get the rightful sum from the Ottoman Empire and Austria-Hungry. Those blighters had the unmitigated gall to have dissolved in the meantime. One thing you can say about the Germans is they repay their debts. 92 years of reparations paid in full. That's German banking for you.
