Luxembourg
German and Luxembourgers police were still trying to find out who placed car bombs in Cologne and Mertert. German troops were based on the border now, searching every vehicle that went into Germany from Luxembourg. Paris was also under guard, since the attempted bombing of the Eiffel Tower, hundreds of security guards were checking each vehicle. Meanwhile, the Germans were readying their military.
What Luxembourg did not notice was that German troops were secretly moved into hotels and houses of Germans. By the end of the week, One thousand German troops were in various buildings around Luxembourg. The Germans were to take key roads when the invasion of Luxembourg was launched and also occupy government buildings. The Luxembourgers military was too small to resist the occupation of the Government buildings and key roads, let alone thousands of German troops pouring from France and Germany.
Later that week, at 4:30 AM, German troops in their buildings came out of hiding and began the invasion. A platoon of German troops had occupied key roads to Luxembourg city. A squad ran into some resistance at an airbase, and one of the Germans were killed in the gun fight, but the Germans managed to over run the airport security.
Meanwhile, as Germans were over running key points around Luxembourg. A regiment of German troops backed by thirty Leopard 2 tanks poured into Luxembourg from the French side of the border, while another regiment poured in Luxembourg from the German side. The Luxembourg military had fewer then eight hundred men, and by 10:30 AM, Luxembourg was in German hands.
As early as 8 AM, the news of the invasion leaked out into the world.
