Germany Rejects Polish WWII Reparations Bid During Nawrocki Berlin Visit

  • Polish President Karol Nawrocki suggested that Germany could compensate Poland by financing its defense industry and military capacity.
  • Steinmeier emphasized that, from Germany's viewpoint, the reparations issue has been conclusively settled.
  • The Polish government believes the reparations issue is unfeasible, while polls show increased public support among Poles for claims against Germany.
