Reparations Stalemate Among Allied Powers
Allied officials report sharp divide over German reparations between the Soviet Union and western powers. Disputes focus on the scope of the Reparations Commission and Allied Control Council, how removals align with Potsdam, and whether western zones gain priority over Soviet claims. Germany’s economy and agriculture have been stripped, with vast plant and farm assets moved east and evacuees to be resettled in the west.
