Did luxenburg play any part in world war 2? was it occupied. Did they stay neutral and if so; how?

Answer 1

The reaction of the general public was slow at first because it was still under shock of the invasion of 1914-1918. Furthermore the royal family and the government had fled into exile without leaving a message. In general the different reactions can be grouped in the following categories:
The Luxembourgish resistance was supported only by a small fraction of the population. Its formation was spontaneous and slow at first. The first groups are formed in autumn 1940-1941. In the beginning they worked without coordination and from different motivations, e.g. liberals opposed to the anti-Jewish policies and conservative Catholics with clear anti-semitic tendencies. The resistance was also joined by the communist party of Luxembourg...the main accomplishment of the Luxembourgish resistance which should not be underestimated, was the moral support for the population through the distribution of flyers, graffiti and by hiding youths who refused to serve in the German Wehrmacht.

Answer 2

Like The Netherlands, Belgian and France, neutral Luxembourg was invaded by Germany on May 10th, 1940. This was part of "Fall Gelb", the invasion-plan of General Erich von Manstein, chief of staff of Army Group A.
In London a government-in-exile was formed. In 1942 Germany annexed Luxembourg. In the years 1942-1943 674 Jews from Luxembourg were deported to Auschwitz. Thousands of Luxembourgers were used as forced labourers.
A small Luxembourg army joined Operation Overlord. The Allies liberated Luxembourg at the end of 1944. In January 1945 part of the Ardennes Offensive was fought on Luxembourg soil.

Answer 3

Luxembourg was invaded and occupied by Germany during the First World War, but was allowed to maintain its independence and political mechanisms. It was again invaded and subject to German occupation in the Second World War in 1940, and was formally annexed into the Third Reich in 1942.

During World War II, Luxembourg abandoned its policy of neutrality, when it joined the Allies in fighting Germany. Its government, exiled to London, set up a small group of volunteers who participated in the Normandy invasion.
