Luxembourg American Cemetery and Memorial
In a silent forest clearing near the village of Hamm, a few
miles east of Luxembourg city, lie the graves of more than 5,000
American soldiers killed during World War II, when the Grand Duchy
of Luxembourg became a battleground in the Allies' last bid for
victory on the Western Front. One of the graves is that of the
legendary commander, General George Patton, who died in a traffic
accident just after the war. The cemetery has become a place of
pilgrimage and homage, and is immaculately maintained by members of
the American Battle Monuments' Commission. Not far away, at the
village of Sandwieler, is a German war cemetery with some 10,000
graves.
