Germany used its military strength to force its occupying powers and protectorates to provide loans far beyond what they could lend, and clearly stipulated in the liquidation agreement that these loans would be repaid after the war. In this way, Germany received considerable sums. For example, the Bank of France was forced to lend Germany 4.5 billion marks.

Occupation fees were a large source of income for Germany. Germany forced the countries it invaded (with the exception of Denmark because it did not participate in the war) to bear all the costs of the German occupation forces according to the standards required by Germany and according to the country's ability to pay. For example, by February 1944, the German army had levied occupation fees of 25.85 billion marks, 4.52 billion marks, and 7.72 billion marks respectively from France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, 1.28 billion marks from Norway, and 560 million marks from Serbia, Greece, and Ethiopia. , 3.76 billion marks and 30 million marks, and 750 million marks and 1.35 billion marks were levied respectively from the Eastern Region Commissionerate and the Ukrainian Commissionerate. In addition, Germany's satellite countries such as Italy, Spain, Romania, Croatia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Slovakia and Finland were not spared, and the government was levied 1.85 billion marks. By the end of the war, the German Communist Party had collected approximately 60 billion marks in occupation fees. Among them, France paid 35 billion marks, an average of 7 billion marks per year, which is equivalent to more than four times the annual compensation amount paid by Germany after World War I.

Fines are a form of economic plunder commonly used by Germany. It often imposes fines on various unfounded charges in occupied countries in order to obtain more funds. In Norway, for example, in September 1941, the Stavanger municipality was forced to pay a fine of 2 million crowns to the Germans for allegedly sabotaging telephone lines. In the Netherlands, only 62 municipalities were fined at least 20.243 million dong. In France, fines amount to more than 410 million francs.

In short, through various means of making money, Germany squeezed 104 billion marks from the general governments of the occupied countries.
