<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jolumoga, post: 1856320, member: 41780&quot;]It may be an expense, but, again, the issue is that the gold has basically disappeared.&nbsp; Keep in mind that we have a good number of military bases in Germany, underscoring that the post-WWII relationship between Germany and the U.S. is based on trust and cooperation.&nbsp; With the revival of Germany following that war, and especially during the Cold War, I highly doubt the Germans would have been unable to afford these fees, assuming they were even charged.&nbsp; Germany, as a strategic partner, is not a nation you can bait and switch, and say to them: &quot;Well, the storage fees were high, after all, so it will take 35 years rather than 7 to return your gold, if that.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>So, no offense, but that <i>argument</i> seems absurd on its face, and I find you to be a very reasonable guy.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
