      "My dear love, it has been three years since i've sent to attack the Defiant's Wall. Pride turned to fear, and fear turned to boredom.
      At first it was somewhat thrilling, running across that no man's land, now i just stay behind the pile of corpses waiting until nightfall before sneaking back to the trenches, apparently this is common amongst the "Old Guard"
      "Old". I am not even out of my twenties.
      They always come up with the "solution" to the "Luxembourg question", wonder weapons, a new type of gas or a genious tactic, all of them fall apart in their first hours agaisnt the Defiant's Wall, beaten by guns made from the last war.
      We all heard about Moscow's capitulation, yet no one cheered, we just stared at the radio as rain poured in and mud filled our trenches, i looked behind me and saw a flash of light followed by a gunshot coming from the one of the Defiant's bunkers, blood plastered agaisnt the bunker's interiors.
      There was a fight between the generals, some wanted to nuke the whole place while others argued that doing so was admitting defeat, that the Luxemburgs beat us.
      Anyway, the plane was sent to London but unfourtunately it fell into the British Channel alongside our hopes of winning this war. The Allies landed on Normady a month ago and i plan on running away the moment they reach the wall and surrendering to the first squad i see, i just can't handle it anymore.
      I haven’t been receiving letters from you, i am not sure if the convoys are being gunned down by the Allies' planes, if some SS agent is discarding mine or if the bombers have reached Dresden."- Letter from a hanged German soldier, dated "15/06/1948"

      Mid-1940 “BRITISH PATHÉ: SUMMER SPECIAL: Heroic pilots fight off the Jerry’s blitz, Italo Bablo’s Escertio in hard fighting with us over Egypt, and finally, the amazing fortifications that keep Luxembourg safe from the Nazi jackboot that trampled Western Europe
      Fall of USSR “WE ARE NOT DEFEATED”: Speech by Winston Churchill after the treaty of Vladivostok, extolling the continued courage of the Luxembourgish people as an example to the rest of the world.
      1950 “GERMAN-LUXEMBOURGISH CEASEFIRE”: Luxembourg and Germany race to acquire nuclear weapons. In the end, Luxembourg gets them first thanks to British-Norwegian sabotage of the already weak German nuclear program. The Allies land nuclear bombers in Luxembourg and the Rhineland is bombed. Germany agrees to a very limited deal. The Netherlands, Belgium and northern France are freed.
      Post Capitalist-Fascist Cold War: “WORLD WAR 2 AND LUXEMBOURG: NATION FORGED IN FIRE”: Before 1936, Luxembourg was a demilitarized, minuscule trade hub state. After, it remains respected the world over for being able to punch well above its weight. Here’s the whole story.

      With competent allies? Basically until they make a landing in the low countries and push a wedge towards me. After that it's a W.
      So with the AI it's 50/50 between "it all ends in '47" and "I win hehe". With players? A competent German player can crack Luxembourg, at high cost. But competent Allies can hold the front anyways. So it depends from there.

The land has turned to muck, the air filled with smoke, and the dead overflow the foxholes and trenches, the stench is unreal. It's a horrid place, not even the rats and strays remain in this hell. The artillery have been rolling non stop for days, the tanks and trucks are sinking in the grim. And this song the enemy is routinely playing over its sirens and radios, its constant and never ending, its picking away at our nerves.
