| Summary: | The invasion of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg by the German army in 1940 marked the beginning of a long ordeal for the Luxembourg people. For more than four years, the country was occupied by the Nazis, who were eager to destroy the country's independence and integrate the Grand-Duchy into the Reich. The Luxembourgers had to be 'Germanized' by force. An entire nation saw itself exposed to merciless oppression. Those defending themselves in the name of freedom were jeopardizing their lives as well as those of their loved ones. Nonetheless, resistance to the Nazi invaders kept strengthening throughout the years of occupation, thereby compelling the Germans to resort to ever more radical means. |
