Athens officially quantifies sum which includes repayment of forced loan and return of archaeological treasures

Greece’s deputy finance minister has said that Germany owes it nearly €279bn (£205bn) in reparations for the Nazi occupation of the country.

Greek governments and private citizens have pushed for war damages from Germany for decades but the Greek government has never officially quantified its reparation claims.

Germany already paid for reparation to Greece around 1960.

One could claim it was not enough, but in the intervening 1/2 century this has not been a big deal.

Now it is. It is more like a Christmas wish list to save someone's bacon.
