In July-August 1940, the Grand Duchy was placed under direct German administration, and all vestiges of the Luxembourg state were abolished.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through intensive propaganda, the occupiers tried to convince Luxembourgers to support the Nazi regime.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the exception of a few collaborators, the Luxembourg population never submitted. On the contrary, the longer the occupation lasted, the more the Nazis repressed the Luxembourg identity, which intensified the Luxembourg resistance.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1941, about ten resistance organizations were formed to fight (individually) against the occupying forces. They organized, for example, the escape of politically persecuted people, supported Luxembourg&#8217;s draft dodgers after the introduction of forced recruitment in the summer of 1942, etc. They even successfully launched a campaign against the occupation. They even supported a successful general strike against the regime, which mobilized the whole country. As a result, more than 200 people were arrested, and about 20 were executed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the active resistance would have been much less successful in its activities without the general population&#8217;s support. Some courageous patriots also made their way abroad to join the Allied fighting troops and thus contributed to the country&#8217;s liberation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column
