Poland has fairly less wealth than Germany. Is it fair that Germany has so much wealth today when the countries they attacked do not?

The affirmative action discussed here are not about survivors of slavery. They are descendants and non-descendants. The Germany and Austria jointly paid compensation to surviving Polish. Not to every polish person who by being polish is today impacted by the historical events of world war 2.

To put the question in a different way, why is things settled between the polish people and the German people, while things are not settled between the white population in US and the black population?

Germany was also richer than Poland before WWII.

I personally believe both things are settled.
