German+Occupation+of+Luxembourg+during+World+War+II

The German occupation of Luxembourg during ww2 was a big event. This event was caused by the germans in 1940-1945. This happened in Luxembourg while Nazi Germany was trying to declare world domination. They would go around trying to take over all the world. The Nazis wanted to take charge of everyone. Roaming the countries and taking them over. The germans believed Luxembourg was a Germanic state so they wanted to suppress what they perceived as alien cultures. It was situated at a strategic point at the end of the French Maginot Line.  After the war, a number of troops from Luxembourg helped the French in the occupation of Germany, a reign of terror that lasted almost a decade. About 2,000 collaborators were thought to be traitors. Nine were sentenced to death, while the rest were imprisoned until a general amnesty in the 1950s. Luxembourg lost over 5,ooo citizens during its occupation, a little less than two percent of the population.
