Poland suffered the biggest losses in Europe during World War II and its right to reparations has not expired under international law.
The study cites international regulations, including the 1907 Hague Convention and “postwar reparation practice” as justifying Poland's right to claim reparations from Germany.
Poland’s foreign minister Witold Waszczykowski told local radio station RMF that “serious talks” were needed with Germany to "find a way to deal with the fact that German-Polish relations are overshadowed by the German aggression of 1939 and unresolved post-war issues."
He said Poland’s material losses were about $1 trillion, or higher.
