Versailles #58: Reparations & War Guilt
🕑 Added 2019-04-27 16:47:26 +0000 UTC[PATRONS]
It's time we cleared the air about reparations and war guilt, arguably the two most controversial elements of the Treaty of Versailles. Here, making use of studies long since ignored or forgotten, we unwrap the reality of the Germans were actually faced with, what the infamous articles actually said, and why the Germans determined, rather than face their mistakes, to make up a whole load of stuff about how unfair their lot was! It's a stunning tale of propaganda and deliberate duping, and may be one of the most revealing episodes we release, so have a listen!

This episode is an excellent corrective to erroneous popular impressions of the reparations issue!
