I agree with your last two points, however I think that the situation Germany was placed in after WWII was quite different than the countries the US was aiding with the Marshall Plan. Germany was in debt because reperations were placed on them, however the US was giving money so that the countries would be able to build up their militaries and defend themselves. Although the US was containing communism, their goal was not to prevent an uprising from countries in Europe.
