Analyse this way: Marshall Plan boost Germany´s economy. These are the seeds planted.

Germany grows at impressive rate during 50s and 60s.

Wirtschaftswunder ensues.

Now Germans have money.

This is harvest time.

Show the bad things Nazi had done.

Germans under tremendous pressure to clean up the act.

Germany started paying reparations wihput discussions as to not make them look bad and show they are good.

They could not come out and say: That is too much!! As you know they had seen how the Versailles Treaty ended up...

So they paid a lot of money on reparations.

If the Germans had gone **Morgenthau there would have been no money for reparations.

**Morgenthau Plan (Sept. 1944) A plan drawn up by the US Secretary of the Treasury, Henry Morgenthau Jnr. (b. 1891, d. 1967) which envisaged a postwar Germany as an agricultural, deindustrialized country which would be divided into a northern and a southern half, with the Rhineland, the North Sea coast, and other important strategic or industrial areas coming under international control. After initial acceptance by Roosevelt, it was quickly withdrawn as completely impractical, as such a Germany would continue to be reliant on foreign finance.
