In the library "war reparations" had been translated to "Kriegsvorbereitungen". This is obviously wrong and probably the translator wrongly read "war preparations".

The German translation for "war reparations" however is "Kriegsreparationen".

Preparation = "Vorbereitung"
Reparation = "Reparation" (same as in English)

War reparations are payments made after a war by the vanquished to the victors.
They are intended to cover damage or injury inflicted during a war. Generally, the term war reparations refers to money or goods changing hands, but not to the annexation of land.
