Luxemburg
My Stamps of 1941
Luxemburg was invaded by the German Army in May 1940 and was annexed to the Third Reich until its eventual liberation in Sept 1944. The country was initially placed under a military administration but control was later passed to a civilian government before finally being directly annexed to the Third Reich.
