My Comment: My nationality is Russia .... and as much as some Greeks may feel that they are entitled to some form of compensation from Germany .... what the German's did to Greece does not even come close to what was done to Russia. So am I (or the country Russia itself) demanding compensation .... hmmm .... overall no. Love to get some cash (who doesn't), but we know that it is not going to happen .... and besides .... we have other fish to fry and problems to focus on.

Greece is a basket-case .... and what is worse .... the sense of entitlement among many Greeks that not only Germans but also the French, Scandinavian, and other countries owe Greece is (to me) depressing and a taste of where this is all going. The EU is willing to cut 50% of Greece's debt ... the Greeks should instead be grateful, get their act together, work hard, sacrifice, and (for crying out loud) hide the begging bowl.
