War Reparations

I'm under the impression that the U.S. did not accept war reparations from Germany after the war. The U.S. did however demand that the allies repay their massive debts that they owed the U.S. and that they (in turn) demanded reparations from Germany. So I re-wrote that sentence. If someone could find a credible sources to establish the facts of this case (how the Los Angeles became U.S. property), that would be most appreciated. Thanks. --Jones, 13:47, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Scientific American, August 1924, p115, The Transatlantic Voyage of "ZR-III", "She was allocated to the United States by the Reparations Commission of the Allies, with the stipulation that she was to be used only for commercial and scientific purposes." David Finn 14:59, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
Well, I guess the reparations committee knew what it was doing.... (I can't believe I just wrote that...) Russell D. Jones 18:55, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
