Have the germans ever apologized for bombing England?I don't think so.
Have they ever apologized for murdering millions of Jews?
Yes. They actually pay annual reparations. In gold.
This is sickening.
Sure is.

I know about the reparations but have they ever said they were sorry or did they just agree to pay and never apologize?

Those Jews sure do love their gold, don't they? Lovely. And false.
West Germany paid out a lot of money to Israel after the war to compensate people for the loss of their families, lives, and property in Europe during the war. A lot of the reparations came in the form of German-manufactured goods such as trucks and cars. I believe those reparations wrapped up ages ago. Some elderly exiles in America receive small annual checks from Austria. Perhaps from Germany as well? I don't believe the totals come close to matching what was stolen during the war by the Nazis, but that's impossible.
Many European governments, including the Netherlands, France, and Switzerland, made out like thieves with the assets of Jews who were killed. Read up on the assets of the Lippmann-Rosenthal bank in Amsterdam, where Jews were forced to turn over all their valuables (incl. wedding rings) which the Dutch government kept after the war. A lot of independent groups hushed up their involvement for 50 or 60 years, waiting for all the claimants to die. They have mostly succeeded.
Recent reparations cases have dealt with non-Jews involved in slave labor (payment for their work) and insurance policies that Swiss companies refused to recognize after the war.
