- Abstract
The article discusses the compensation for detention and forced labor in the Second World War brought by an association of former military detainees before the Chamber of German Constitutional Court in Germany. It reviews the historical events and the facts of the case in which complaints of two Italian Army were described in details such as the arrest by the German Wehrmacht in August 1944 and in September 1943. It notes that the negotiations of Germans with number of states were triggered by lawsuits made against German enterprises in the United States that led to the birth of Stiftungsgesetz Statute and the American-German agreement. It outlines the judgment of the case based on the Stiftungsgesetz Statute that decided to limit individual compensation to forced labor and detention.
