Reply to comment by wecycleme in Poland demands $1.3 trillion in war damages from Germany by allergic-toeveryting

You've substituted punitive (prison) for compensatory(money), but I'll go with your analogy. It's like if I drunk drove and ran you over and I spent 20 years in prison for my actions and then 80 years later along comes your great grandson and tries to jail my granddaughter's cousin's wife for my actions.

It's Germany though. The Nazis who did it are not being held personally responsible in the financial penalty. It is the country.
