Belgians deported to Germany in WWII to work as slaves of the Third Reich after their defeat in 1940 have suddenly had tax demands laid on them from Berlin on pensions and lump sums paid out in slavery compensation settlements agreed on in 2005.
Nazi Germany enslaved over 13 million people in munitions plants, as labourers and as farm and kitchen hands - Germany publicly recognized its responsibility to these survivors by issuing pensions and payments to them six years ago but now want to claw back 17% of that sum in taxes.
