Belgium shows German hypocrisy: Germany still pays those who had helped Hitler during the war

Nearly 75 years after the end of World War II, Germany still pays pensions every month for wartime collapses to the Nazi regime in several European countries, including Belgium and Britain, according to a Belgian MP, as the media report there.

The foreign affairs committee in the Belgian parliament this week has voted in favour of a resolution to tell the German federal government to immediately stop these payments and publish the full list of people benefiting from them, Periscopi translates.

The pension payment for the collapses of one of the most murderous regimes in history is a clear contradiction to the memory and peace effort formed on the European project,”, which passed unanimously.

The document says nearly 30 people in Belgium are still receiving payment under a decree signed by Adolf Hitler guaranteeing them the same pension rights as for German citizens.

German authorities “have consistently refused to communicate the full list of recipients of these pensions,”, according to the newspaper Le Soir.

Meanwhile, German authorities have only provided vague clarifications without showing who the pensioners were or what basis they have guaranteed the pension. /Periscopi
