Not the biggest but one of the best

First this museum was dedicated to the "Battle of the Bulge" in Luxembourg in winter 1944/45. The key topic of the museum remains the balanced and objective historical representation of the military operations in the Ardennes from the german, american and civilian points of view. Over 3000m2 of exhibition space enable an insight of the dramatic and tragic situations that both, soldiers and civilians, were caught in. Special showrooms feature extensive collections of weapons, uniforms, military equipment of all kind, wheeled- and tracked vehicles, in addition to numerous personal soldier's belongings, photographs, documents and maps. The museum's core is doubtlessly the detailed diorama of the night-time Sauer river crossing at Diekirch on January 18th, 1945. Another part is dedicated to the history of Luxembourg's own armed forces. Other sections are dedicated to Luxembourgers fighting in allied armies in both WWI, WWII, and during the Korean conflict.

    Excellent Museum
    Looking for perspective on WWII in the Ardennes and across Luxembourg...this is the place to stop. The dioramas are very well done, the artifacts number in the thousands, the military vehicles are unique and varied...and there are human stories behind the displays. While not our primary objective for this visit, we are so glad we visited.

    The museum just around the corner...
    This is our third time visiting this museum and it is nice to see how they are expanding and adding to the museum. My husband and son absolutely love this museum! They have dragged me to all sorts of WWII museums and this little museum in Diekirch is one of the best and the village is absolutely charming. Less than two hours away from Kaiserslautern military community, this museum is definitely worth the drive.
