Treaty of Versailles Gold Reparation Bonds. How profoundly ironic is that?

[investigateworld]

The Versallie Treaty was merely a breathing space between the Wars, IMHO.

If one reads the actual Treaty, they can see how it put Germany against the wall, thus brought in the National Socialists.

The Allies passed a law saying the "Bonds" that the Red Army stole couldn't be redeemed by West Germany - See London Debt Accord of 1951.

All the bonds they stole had the redemption coupons removed right thru Dec. 1944, thus were worthless on the Market. But that don't stop greedy fools from buying them from the Red's and looking for a 'greater fool' so to speak.
