There's a great case for the first and second world wars being incited by financial interests. And probably every other modern war too. But the prospect of Germans suing the Czech Republic for reparations reminds me a lot of the Lithuanian prosecutor investigating Jewish partisans for allegedly combatting Lithuanian collaborators during WWII. Your side initiated the aggression, your side lost. Deal with it. Instead there are a number of initiatives coming out of Eastern Europe trying to equate the Nazi terror with the Soviet terror in order to exonerate collaborators. Unfortunately out of the Czech Republic as well.
