General Patton Memorial Museum

The German invasion of Luxembourg in 1940 and the subsequent liberation of the country by US forces in 1944 are the main topics of the General Patton Memorial Museum in Ettelbruck, a World War II museum. General Patton Memorial Museum is one of the most beautiful historical sites in Luxembourg.

The General Patton Memorial Museum details this historical incident with a variety of weapons, gear, information boards, and more than a thousand documents and pictures. General George S. Patton Jr., the leader of the 3rd U.S. Army that liberated Luxembourg, is the namesake of the museum.

In addition to the weapons and equipment found on the Ardennes battlefield, more than 1000 photos and documents from the German invasion are on display today. The May 1940 invasion, the Nazi occupation, and the September 1944 liberation by American forces are all covered in the museum's first section.

A sizable collection of military tools and weaponry that have recently been found on the Ardennes battlefield are displayed to visitors in the exhibition's second area. An account of the Luxembourg air war is given in another area of the museum. The museum's extensive collection of battle tanks is its principal draw.
