The Germans, with our help, rebuilt their country brick by brick
According to my interpreter on a few trips to Russia a few years ago, the Germans also (re)built quite a few buildings in the Soviet Union as well e.g Moscow State Univ, when I pointed out the construction dates were postwar (1946-50, something like that)he just smiled and said "We had work for the POWs to do before they went home" !

The Germans knocked down quite a few Russian buildings, so it is far that they should be made to rebuild some. On the other hand, the quality of construction is sometimes so poor that it is hard to think that Germans did the work. Were they made to make bricks without straw?
