Supporters of Germany argue that reparations claims are settled under international law and that Berlin's focus should remain on preserving the postwar order and European reconciliation rather than reopening historical settlements.
Supporters of Germany argue that honoring historical responsibility is best expressed through memorial culture and education rather than new compensation claims, maintaining that inherited guilt should not be reduced to financial settlements.
Supporters of Germany counter that remembrance is already embedded in its culture through education, memorials, and commemoration, and they challenge the claim that a budget line measures a nation's honoring of victims.
Supporters of Germany argue that reparation claims are legally settled by international agreements, and that the 2027 draft budget reflects existing obligations rather than any new liability.

Supporters of Germany argue Berlin offers symbolic gestures because moral acknowledgment costs little, while formal reparations would invite open-ended legal and financial claims that constrain Germany's future leverage.
Supporters of Germany argue that Berlin's refusal to pay rests on sovereignty and legal finality, not sentiment: past settlements and treaty frameworks already closed the question, so any new payment would invite open-ended claims.

Supporters of Germany frame the matter through moral responsibility and reconciliation, arguing that remembrance and humanitarian gestures honor the victims' suffering, while cautioning that legal claims are settled and budget constraints limit new compensation.
Supporters of Germany argue that moral reckoning with Nazi crimes is a duty before God that no budget line can discharge, and they maintain that scripture's call to repent and make restitution weighs on the nation regardless of the 2027 draft budget.
Supporters of Germany counter that budgetary decisions are matters of state prudence, not religious conscience, and that Germany has already confessed guilt and sought forgiveness through reparations and memorials.
