Inaugurated in October 1971 the “National Monument of Luxembourg solidarity”, called Kanounenhiwwel (mound of canons) by the locals, is the central place for national commemorations of all the victims of World War II, underlining the solidarity that Luxembourgers showed during the dark years of Nazi occupation.

From August 1940 on, the Gestapo had installed their headquarters on these premises.

Only a modest bronze plaque fixed to the right wing of the present headquarters building of the State Savings bank (BCEE) in Luxembourg City reminds of General Omar Bradley’s former Headquarters.

The State Savings was created by law in 1856.

The use of the “Fondation Pescatore” building by General Patton as the Headquarters for his Third US Army (THUSA), is primarily known because of “Patton’s Prayer” in the chapel on the first floor of the building.

The Luxembourg-American Cemetery in Hamm is the final resting place of 5.076 American soldiers who primarily died on the territory of the Grand-Duchy, from September 1944 to February 1945.
