German President revisits War Reparations issue

Joachim Gauck’s recent statements to Suddeutshe Zeitung

Germany must examine the war reparations issue towards Greece deeply, stated German President Joachim Gauck, in an interview to German newspaper Suddeutsche Zeitung.

 

 

The German President had recently stated that he did not know of the real scope of the Nazi war crimes. He claimed that before he visited Greece, he read up on relevant books and realized that no one knew, including myself, of the scope of Nazi war crimes and that even though he knows history well and has studied documents, he never knew of the actual depth of the matter.
