Territorial claims of Netherlands after World War 2

Solid-Move-1411:

Territories demanded by Netherlands as reparation after WW2. Proposal was rejected by Allies as it would stress out housing and rehabilitation in Germany too much due to millions of forced deportations when state was already suffering from it due to mass deportation of Germans from East and Czechia.

Although an area of total size 69 km2 (roughly 1/3 of Liechtenstein for comparison) was annexed by Netherlands but almost all of this was returned to West Germany in 1963 after Germany paid the Netherlands 280 million German marks to buy it back.
