LUXEMBOURG
POST - FDC Stamp - 75th Anniversary commemorating the Liberation of
Luxembourg. All of Luxembourg hoped with the liberation in September
1944 that the war was finally over for the Grand Duchy. The people did
not expect the battle which broke out on 16 December 1944. The number of
civil victims in Luxembourg alone is estimated at 500; in Belgium,
2,000 to 2,500 people died. Dead soldiers on both sides numbered in the
tens of thousands.
