Germany 'must pay WWII victims'
Italy's top court has ordered the German government to pay compensation to the families of Italian civilians killed by Nazi soldiers in 1944.
The Cassation Court said Berlin must pay one million euros (£787,000) to the relatives of nine victims of the massacre in the town of Civitella.
In all, 203 civilians were shot in revenge for an Italian partisan attack.
Germany argued it had immunity from being held financially responsible for Nazi crimes during World War II.
