Which country paid it's WWII reparations in full?

Are you asking about debt incurred or damages caused due to agressive war. If it is debt then I would have to say Australia.

I guess it wont be any of the subsequent Iron curtain countries - Romania, Bulgaria etc. So I`ll go for Japan?

It's the arse end of a Tiger. Is there some trick though? Something to do with the exhausts perhaps?

I think I read somewhere that Germany (or West Germany I suppose) did.

Reparations aren't debt. We won so we're not paying any reparations. Them's the rules. If you don't like paying reparations, don't lose. Better yet, don't start wars if you aren't very good at winning them. Are you listening in the back row Germany?

No trick, yes Stavka_Lite it IS a tank

But Neilster get full score, rear end of a Tiger.
No trick, I only posted part of the tank as it would get too easy if I posted a pic of the entire tank, but at the same time I did not want to make it too difficult either

Adolf Galland scored 104 Victories, all of them over the western front which makes him to the most successful german pilot over the western front

sorry but that is wrong

Hans Marseille (yellow 14, Star of Africa) shot down 158 Western Aircraft

Heinz Bar, shot down 125

and

Kurt Buhligen, shot down 112

I hit the post button to soon... If is the latter then I will "guess" Finland

that is the country I had in mind. only countries that lose in war pay reparations; although the Russians took a lot of stuff out of their parts of Eastern Europe I think even they eventually had to back off from their original ideas as they had to set up the satellite regimes, and didn't go so far as to set up an official reparations system. I think the West had hoped for the same from their parts of what became West Germany, but they too waived these by the time of the Marshall Plan.

I think the West had hoped for the same from their parts of what became West Germany, but they too waived these by the time of the Marshall Plan.

From Wikipedia...

Contrary to popular belief, the Marshall Plan, which was extended to also include Western Germany after it was realized that the suppression of the Western German economy was holding back the recovery of the rest of Europe, was not the main force behind the Wirtschaftswunder. Had that been the case, other countries such as Great Britain and France (which both received higher economic assistance from the Marshal plan than Germany) should have experienced the same phenomenon. In fact, the amount of monetary aid (which was in the form of loans) received by Germany through the Marshall Plan (about $1.4 billion in total) was far overshadowed by the amount the Germans had to pay back as war reparations and by the charges the Allies made on the Germans for the ongoing cost of occupation (about $2.4 billion per year)[87]. In 1953 it was decided that Germany was to repay $1.1 billion of the aid it had received. The last repayment was made in June 1971.

I was thinking of Guderian who wrote a book in 1937 "Achtung Panzer". He was convinced that the armor should be used in formations to break enemy lines followed by motorized infantry to fill and protect the gap opened by the armored forces.

Ouinn too easy!!!

Some Qs I've been mailed, since they are good Qs indeed I'll post them here;

(Q1) What was the largest naval battle of the Spanish Civil War?

(Q2) Why should the Spanish Nationalist cruiser Baleares not be included in WiF after March 1938?

(Q3) What were Japanese Aircraft carriers and seaplane carriers mostly named after?

(Q4) If the IJN battleship Fuso's name means "Land of Divine Mulberry Trees" what is this also an old name for?

(Q5a) Who is the Peruvian cruiser Coronel B named after (no its not the football team or the collage)?

(Q5b) What is Coronel B's most famous saying?

Warspite1

Q3. Castles and Dragons - I can never remember which ships are which but I think of those carriers that took part in Pearl Harbor, there was Flying Dragon, Green Dragon, Red Castle and I`m sure I recall reading that Kaga means Increased Joy - or was I reading an edition of Asian Babes??

You have been given a point by tha author of these Qs

a) The Versaille treaty of armistice that ended WWI (ans some say, started WWII).
b) Versaille, in a wagon.
c) Hitler wanted to sign the surrender of the French army in June 1940 in the same wagon.
