Seibert said that Germany had fully recognised its responsibility in World War II, while emphasising that it had also paid "considerable reparations for overall war damages" to Poland. The 1953 agreement on reparations signed by Warsaw's communist authorities renounced further claims against Germany. Polish Prime Minister Beata Szydlo said Thursday that she believed her country had the right to demand further reparations from Germany. "The position of the Polish government on war reparations will be officially expressed when a political decision is taken," she said in a radio interview. Poland suffered the brunt of the two-front attack by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union during World War II.
