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

2. send a bill to everyone receiving German pension and who lives abroad

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.

Name the movie....

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

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.

1. introduce law to tax expats receiving German pension
2. send a bill to everyone receiving German pension and who lives abroad
