| The Allies liberated Luxembourg City in September 1944 with little resistance. It became the forward headquarters for the American advance across the Saar and Our Rivers. On December 20, 1944, General Patton entered Luxembourg City with a new mission. He would move north and reinforce Bastogne, Belgium. Over the previous four days, it became clear that the Third Army would not cross the Saar; it would combat the Germans in the Battle of the Bulge. |
