Reparations talks trim German payments under face value
Experts expect initial annual reparations to fall below 640000000 gold marks due to French concessions. France agreed to accept 700-800 million marks per annuity as compensation for devastated areas, pensions, and currency losses. Belgian and Italian claims influence the formula. About 1 billion of the total may be protected for devastated regions and pensions, with the rest to settle war debts.
