Luxembourg was invaded by Germany in 1940 and was an occupied nation for practically all of WWII. Germany annexed the nation into part of Germany in 1942 and had a program of molding it into a complete part of Germany during the occupation. Things like making languages other than German illegal, and many others moved to force the people to become more German were enacted. Luxembourg's government had left before the occupation and set itself up in London. As far as the people, there were factions who welcomed the Nazis and others who resisted mildly to strongly.

What history should you know about Luxembourg?
Luxembourg is a constitutional monarchy with a Grand Duke as head of state and an elected Chamber of Deputies which provides members of the government. Luxembourg used to be in 'personal union' with the Netherlands whereby the King of the Netherlands was also Grand Duke of Luxembourg. In 1890 Queen Wilhemina became head of state of the Netherlands but was prohibited from inheriting the Luxembourg crown as she was female, so Luxembourg had it's own Grand Duke from a German Princely family. In WWI, Luxembourg although neutral was violated by German troops and Luxembourgers died trying to repel them. In WWII, Luxembourg was absorbed into the German Reich as Hitler believed the Luxembourgers to be German. The Nazis demolished the WWI war memorial in Luxembourg City. Many Luxembourgers joined resistance movements in WWII. Luxembourg is a member of NATO and is a founding member of the European Union.
