“Germany owes Greece no less than €278.7 billion in World War II reparations, Athens said, referring to the destruction wrought upon the nation during the Nazi occupation. The sum exceeds Greece’s total debt of €240 billion to the EU. The figure was calculated by a parliamentary committee and the Greek supreme court. In response, Gabriel Sigmar, Germany’s economy minister and vice chancellor, described Greece’s demand as ‘stupid.’ Many Greeks blame Germany, as the country’s biggest creditor, for the tough austerity measures and record high unemployment it faced after getting two international bailouts total worth 240 billion euros.”
