* "Other Expenditures" includes materials not charged to the recipient nations, including goods lost in shipment{ships sunk by submarines ect...}, items consumed by the US forces, and administrative costs.

# In terms of 1994 dollars{when the book i used for the source for the numbers was published}, the almost 51 billion spent during the war would be worth over 600 billion dollars.

That was a world war... I wonder how that compares to The Iraq war numbers today taking into account inflation.?

Ive never been able to find out exact numbers but i have heard/read many times that "Most" was forgiven.

I believe Britian was the only country to pay anything back.
