Russia Sought Reparations Deferment Linked to German Agencies
Soviet sources said Molotov might offer to defer Russia’s 10 billion reparations claim if the foreign ministers’ conference accepts immediate establishment of all German administrative and economic agencies in the Reich. He would pair it with delaying reparations from current production until Germany’s economy balances. The move contrasts US views for limited decentralization and aims to push for broader German unification and economic control by Allied authorities.
