The Marshall plan in Greece included a huge sum to buying weapons to fend off communism which were not useful and did not go to any Greek. There was no industrial development in Greece. That was not the case in Germany, it got the funds and more importantly the new technology for steel production that helped the Germany. Germans were needed as strong stopping force against the Communists. I dont know if at that early stages it benefited the German people. |

1. From the payment date of 1947 it looks more like it went into the Greek civil war - fought by Greeks against Greeks (1946-1949). Tough decision to have another war after devastating WWII. 2. Germany bought weapons for the newly built "Bundeswehr" - most of them from the US.
