Grand Duchy Overrun
This little country, sandwiched between France, Belgium and Germany, was the next stop on the Nazi time-table on that eventful May 10. With only a nominal army of some 250 men, this little state could do no more than raise an ineffectual protest. The picture shows German armed motor cyclists crossing into Luxemburg to meet the French troops which had gone to the aid of the Grand Duchy.
