“...against the German government...”
How’s that possible? I thought we defeated the Nazi’s 60 years ago. Did they all come back?
This is ridiculous.
Interesting point. Legally, there didn’t exist a German state from 1945 - 1949. This made it possible for the allies to do whatever they wanted (and needed to do) with Germany and the German people. Therefore,Germany didn’t have the legal status of an occupied country and the rights coming with that status according to international law (didn’t have the chores neither).
Question is, if you can consider the Federal Republic of Germany to be the legal successor of Das Grossdeutsche Reich. If not, there is no legal grounds to sue the FRG whatsoever.
If yes, Germany is still in a state of war with some Island states who declared war on germany in may ‘45, as a peace treaty was never signed (because there was no German state to sign it) ;-)
Germany’s legal status after WW II is quite confusing, and I am not sure I got it all right.
