Ely, great article! I received my "edu-macation" in Germany during the 1970s, but surprisingly (or not), we were not taught about either World War. It wasn't until I moved to Australia at the age of twelve that I learned about the World Wars, Germany's involvement, and the then mainstream propaganda surrounding Hitler et al. However, there was no mention of the financial backers of the wars, that is to say, the vested interests of Swiss banksters, which is quite telling. Also, German taxpayers have been providing "reparations" since then to individuals claiming Jewish descent who assert they were impacted by the Holocaust. Since then I've learnt that Germany has made extensive reparations payments to Holocaust survivors since the 1950s. As of recent announcements, Germany paid over $1.4 billion to Holocaust survivors in 2024. This amount included direct compensation and funding for welfare programs, with a significant portion allocated for home care services and one-time payments to eligible survivors. To your knowledge, has any other nation provided ongoing "reparations" for any of the wars they started, ever? Japan, Italy, U.S., anyone???
