Many MPs and German historians agree that the issue is not closed from legal point of view, as the German government spokesman, Steffen Seibert.
Offer "moral damages" in Athens
Some parliamentarians also recommended in Berlin to offer "moral damages" in Athens. As an authoritative historian Eberhard Rondholz - author of studies on "oversights" Investigation of German massacres like that of Cefalonia - defines the opinion of the government "false." It states that "the issue is not closed, far from it. It 'still very open. " The opinion of Rondholz coincides with that of other experts more unbalanced in favor of Germany, as the historian Hans Guenter Hockerts. Similar voices are raised also by the political field. Gesine Schwan, twice nominated for the presidency of the country for the SPD, said that it is necessary to respond to requests to take historical responsibility.
"Recognizing the terrible injustice done to Greece»
"We must recognize the terrible injustice done to Greece," he said in an interview with Der Spiegel Schwan, agreeing with the position expressed by opposition parties Die Linke and the Greens. The deputy chairman of the SPD, Ralf Stegner, admitted that there are many aspects that can not be resolved from the point of view of international law against a country that was particularly impressed by the Nazi occupation and who has received under the agreements Global signed after the war the equivalent of 58 million euro. Crumbs, say in Germany, compared to the destruction and horror and death perpetrated.
250 000 deaths under Nazi occupation
The Nazis massacred civilians Greek (Greek sources speak of 250 000 deaths among the fallen, deported and died of hunger and starvation) destroyed the country's infrastructure in 1943 and imposed a forced loan of 476 million Reichsmarks for "expenses of 'Employment'. According Rondholz, the two sides should distinguish these types of injustices and atrocities, of which the loan is the most viable from a legal standpoint. Rondholz for the present value of that debt is estimated at 11 billion euro "no interest", while for Hockerts is equal to about half of that amount. "The German Government states that the matter is concluded in terms of legal and political, but he knows that is not true, 'he said Eberhard Rondholz, journalist and author of several books on the subject. "There are - he noted - many points that have not been closed or have been closed badly. It makes no sense to ignore it. "
