Did Italy and Germany pay reparations to Spain?

I think the Spanish people are owed in the domain of a few trillion Euros for having fascism imposed on them via foreign interference.

Yes, because this is how History proceeds - through common law civil trials.

And who exactly do you forsee paying this "debt"? The contemporary German and Italian people? Maybe through some kind of national "head tax"?

The Nazi regime murdered 11 million people, vastly more than that if you include all the casualities from the wars they started.

There's simply no way that that debt can be "repaid" nor would funneling money into the coffers of the Spanish bourgeoisie do anything to help the people of Spain or to repair the damage done 65 years ago.

The only "debt" that should be relevent to us now is the debt that the international bourgeoisie owes to the international proletariat. But that fight is most definitely not going to be settled in court!

While Hitler aided Franco with air support, Francisco Franco was very much Spanish.

While Hitler aided Franco with air support
and weapons and troops.

Anyways, shouldn't this thread title be "Should Italy and Germany pay reparations to Spain?" In answer to that question, I would have to bring up the question of how this would be helpful or possible now that. It would be almost impossible to distribute such reparations to those who truly deserve it rather it would simply go to the Spanish government. I suppose if someone really thinks that their life was truly disrupted by the Germans or Italians then they could seek individual reparations but other than that this issue is pretty much pointless.
