        Mr Reynders said that this new problem with the pensions paid to former forced labourers had come about because of a new German law on taxing pensions of people living outside of Germany.
        That sounds like a typical taxman cockup to me:

        1. introduce law to tax expats receiving German pension
        2. send a bill to everyone receiving German pension and who lives abroad
        Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.

            Inglorious Barsterds. The Austrian actor that played the Nazi captain was pretty good, but I thought the movie itself was utter tripe.

              3. show a complete lack of empathy or compassion and say he's just following orders (befehl ist befehl)

              In that respect, no different to any other country's tax inspectors.

                The USA got Von Braun and his team of scientists, Nasa was formed.

                The UK got the Gestapo and HMRC was formed...
