Poland's top politician said Thursday that the government will seek the equivalent of some $1.7 trillion Cdn in reparations from Germany for the Nazis' invasion and occupation of his country during the Second World War.
Jaroslaw Kaczynski, leader of the Law and Justice party, announced the claim at the release of a long-awaited report on the cost to the country of years of Nazi German occupation as it marks 83 years since the start of the war.
"We not only prepared the report but we have also taken the decision as to the further steps," Kaczynski said during the report's presentation.
"We will turn to Germany to open negotiations on the reparations," Kaczynski said, adding it will be a "long and not an easy path" but "one day will bring success."
He insisted the move would serve "true Polish-German reconciliation" that would be based on "truth."
He claimed the German economy is capable of paying the bill.
