No -it's the wrong answer above;
Hitler never took over the German govt. in 1923.
Germany stopped paying Versailles reparations in 1931 - before the Nazis took power in 1933.

I think that they finished paying them last year (2009) or the year before that (2008) or this year (2010).
The actual reparations were stopped by Hitler in 1933 and never restarted. However, Germany still had to make payments on the loans they took out in the 1920's to pay the reparations (when they were still paying them). After World War 2, Germany stopped making these loans payments and agreed to repay them over a 20 year period once the country reunified; the country reunified in 1990 and finished paying off those loans in 2010.
In 1923. When Germany (not Hitler, he is not on the stage yet, and the Nazi Party is very small at the time) stopped paying the reparations of Ł6.6billion, the French troops occupied the steel factories and mines in the Ruhr Valley.
1954 Technically, it would have been the German nation which was paying, since the Nazi party was abolished in 1945.
Germany had agreed to war reparations in keeping with the Treaty of Versailles (1919) after World War I ; the first reparations were made in January 1921 .
The Allied Forces were tottally unfair in the reparations towards Germany, which is what mainly caused World War Two to start. During the Reparations, Germany was demilaritized, had no army, was split in half and etc.. All of these reparations were made and passed without Germany even present when the reparations were made.
no after ww2 most germans regret satring war
The Ruhr, a industrial area in Germany was invaded by the French. They invaded to take reparations by force.
Germany's repayment of war reparations hinged on loans from the United States. World War I ended on November 11, 1918.
reparations (because of the war guilt for World War One)
