      Germany already paid them a lot

      Bereits erbrachte Zahlungen

      Die von der Bundesregierung finanzierte Stiftung Polnisch-Deutsche Aussöhnung in Warschau zahlte seit ihrer Gründung 1992 zunächst 500 Millionen DM an polnische NS-Opfer aus, später folgten Zahlungen in Höhe von fast zwei Milliarden DM an noch lebende ehemalige Zwangsarbeiter.

      Germany already paid 500 million DM to polish NS-victims and later nearly two billion DM to polish concentration camp survivors. (1992+)

      They also got huge areas in the east of Germany (20% of Germany) and the German population was removed.

      1957 Poland signed a treaty to stop reparation payments from West and East Germany.
