Why is Poland demanding compensation from Germany? | Inside Story
Poland says it will demand $1.3 trillion from Germany, for crimes committed during the second World War. The move follows the release of a report on the cost of the Nazi occupation of Poland from 1939 to 1945. Poland’s right-wing government says the country has not been fully compensated. But Germany insists, compensation was paid in the years that followed the war and the issue of reparations is now closed. So, what's behind Poland's move? Is politics involved?
