I think they are referring to war reparations which Greece claims Germany still owes them[1]. I don&#x27;t know anything about this really, but the article suggests Germany&#x27;s standpoint was something to the effect that Greece should&#x27;ve brought this up earlier (in negotiations before joining the EU, for instance) and failing to do so should mean they aren&#x27;t entitled to any recompense. An odd argument, if indeed I&#x27;ve understood it correctly, since I guess it would suggest Germany acknowledges there may indeed be debt owed to Greece.<p>Regardless, it makes for more interesting reality tv than catching up with the Khlardäshiäns[2].<p>[1]: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bbc.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;world-europe-31849430" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bbc.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;world-europe-31849430</a><p>[2]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;Ol3KuDTiZtY?t=2m20s" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;Ol3KuDTiZtY?t=2m20s</a>
