Greece, breaking the doom loop
EXCLUSIVE 6 JULY, by Robert H Wade
"It is hardly surprising that many Greeks blame the Germans for their imploding economy, and see a German plot to turn Greece into a modern-day dependency. After all, German banks willingly lent vast sums to the Greek government and private companies, as imprudently as Greeks borrowed. Their suspicions play into the memories of German atrocities in Greece during the Second World War, when troops requisitioned all the food and inflicted severe famine on urban populations in 1941-42; corpses littered the streets of Athens."
