Germany’s Acts of Military Surrender 70 Years Ago
Copies of Germany’s Acts of Military Surrender are posted on the German Federal Archive’s website. The NZZ reported about the surrender and Foreign Minister Schwerin von Krosigk’s radio address to the German public in its May 8 1945 issue (PDF).
German Reparations
Reinhard Müller discusses legal aspects of recent Greek demands for German reparations in the FAZ. In the past, both German and international courts have ruled against similar demands.
In the NZZ, Elena Panagiotidis reports about the atrocities committed by German occupying forces during World War II and reviews the history of unsuccessful Greek demands for reparation (by government) and compensation (by individuals).
Addendum (March 25):
An article in The Economist provides still another perspective.
