The aim of this article is to analyze the question of war reparations in Polish-German relations after World War II. In order to do so, some relevant factors are taken into account. First of all, the paper concentrates on the issue of whether the Polish government is still entitled to demand war indemnities from Germany as it has been 80 years since the bloodiest conflict in history. In the first section of the paper, the research is based on the definition and legal basis of war reparations. The elements of state responsibility are also carefully examined here. German reparations in turn are analyzed in the light of the international acts such as the Potsdam Agreement, the Agreement on Reparation from Germany, on the Establishment of an Inter-Allied Reparation Agency and on the Restitution of Monetary Gold and the Paris Peace Treaties. An overview of these documents shows that the Big Three applied a soft-footed approach as to the assessment of the German responsibility for war losses. The article is enhanced with the justification of Poland’s claims for World War II reparations. The author supports her views based on inter alia what was agreed during the 1945 Yalta Conference invoking data analysis, state practice referring to war reparations and the importance of activities carried out by the Polish government. Finally, the paper describes what has been done so far in terms of war reparations by both parties and also their stances on the matter. Although many initiatives were established, the issue came to a standstill. However, the author strongly believes that Poland should stand up for itself, as expressed in the final section of the paper.
