Luxembourg, the second world war (WW2) American cemetery, the Battle of the Ardennes (the battle of the Bulge) in Luxembourg. Let's walk around the World War 2 (second world war, WW2) American Cemetery and Memorial in Luxembourg where 5,076 American soldiers lie buried after the Battle of the Ardennes (the battle of the Bulge), against Nazi Germany, between December 16 1944 and January 25 1945.
The Battle of the Bulge, also known as the Ardennes Counteroffensive, was the last major German offensive campaign on the Western Front during World War II, and took place from 16 December 1944 to 25 January 1945. It was launched through the densely forested Ardennes region of Wallonia in eastern Belgium, northeast France, and Luxembourg, towards the end of the war in Europe. The offensive was intended to stop Allied use of the Belgian port of Antwerp and to split the Allied lines, allowing the Germans to encircle and destroy four Allied armies and force the Western Allies to negotiate a peace treaty in the Axis powers' favor.
