I'm shocked that even Germany is growing more and more skeptical by the day.

Not as shocking when you remember what the GDR use to do.

The first article in Neues Deutschland that responded to the reparations agreement was not published until two months later, three days after excerpts of the indictment in the Slansky trial were printed. The article spoke of "a deal between powerful West German and Israeli capitalists" under the headline "Reparations- For Whom?". Leo Zuckermann participated in several talks with the Israeli consul to West Germany, Dr. Eliyahu Livne. In December 1952 he escaped to West Berlin, declaring that he was about to be arrested on the grounds of a "Zionist conspiracy". After Stalin died in March 1953, Israel hoped to negotiate reparations agreement with the East German government but the latter refused so.[11]

East. Germany Ran Antisemitic Campaign in West in ’60s

Records of the Stasi and East Germany’s Politburo reveal that the Communist government used its agents in the West to enlist – often unwittingly – Western leftist groups, Jews, intellectuals and vestigial Nazi sympathizers in a campaign designed to persuade Washington, London and other Western power centers that West Germany remained a hotbed of racism and revanchism. In 1961, as the trial of Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann was getting underway in Israel, the East German Politburo ordered a secret campaign to convince the world that “revanchism and racial hate have once again found a place in West Germany.” The Stasi arranged for East German Jews and intellectuals to send telegrams and hold press conferences in an effort to draw President John F. Kennedy’s attention to a wave of anti-Jewish incidents in West Germany.
