Pretty much any and all reparations were cancelled for Western Germany and today's Germany by continuation. It was a mix of "we need Germany now" and the less than stellar experiences with reparations after WW I.

Outside the reparations question, Germany forced Greece to provide loans during the '40s occupation.

Those loans are not reparations, were never cancelled and, due to continuity of government, are still owed by Germany to Greece.

Debts must be paid after all.
