The trouble is that the nationalist blabbing contains different messages for the different (national) audiences. Lifelong experience with anti-German racism has taught me to flap my ears at certain keywords and raise the middle finger. IM is right in so far  that it is not a good idea to trigger off such a reaction. I don't think that the mirroring of the German insistence on paying debts is playing the Nazi-card (on the sender's side)--but that's how it is widely seen in Germany.  

I find bringing up this forced loan counterproductive, because it appeals to nationalisms on both sides. Surely the spirit of the 1953 debt conference, which was that peace in Europe is only possible by cooperation and prosperity for all of Europe, is what we want to connect to, and not nationalism and mirrored nationalism and counter-mirrored nationalism or whatever.
