We set them up again after the war was over, flew in food to keep West Berlin alive. Maybe if they paid their debt off for the Second World War ( I don't think they paid their debt off for the First World War as well) we could afford a lot more. https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/964141/germany-germans-reparations-brexit-war-cash-marshall-plan-daniel-kawczynski Cheers Arry You are so right 'Arry. They made the mistake after WWI in assisting Germany re-build even though we were skint and then repeated the mistake after WWII. The reason that Germany's manufacturing is so good now is down to the Martial Plan and writing off their debts. There is no wonder countries like Greece that were starved to submission by the Germans in the 1940's are so angry. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Germany are our kith and kin, the mistake we made after WW1 was treating a historic, cultured white nation like absolute shit and nicking all their stuff ! They wasn’t going to stand for that and so, hey presto, WW2 ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They wasn’t going to stand for that and so, hey presto, WW2 ! Sorry, but I don't agree with that. The Allies paid £ millions to Germany to restart their economy after WWI and turned a blind eye to their re-armament. Yes, there were some repatriations of machinery but that backfired as we ended up with their old stuff whilst they bought new stuff with the money we gave them. Then latterly the debts were wiped out. At the end of WWII the Russians took a load of German equipment and tools including the Zeiss factory that they transported Ukraine by train and set up manufacturing. The Brits nicked all the stuff from the Leica factory and some car making machinery. But again, we paid them loads of dosh to get back up and running and they bought new machinery and out performed us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 49,737 Posted April 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 French troops were marching into German towns in the middle of winter and nicking all the coal at gun point mate!!.....brutalising the locals into the bargain. They were having to wheel a wheel barrow load of money down to the baker to buy bread! How long do you think a strong, proud, cultured nation is going to put up with that ? This is the nation that gave rise to England itself and most of the royal families in Europe......and we treated them like 3rd world savages ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
