When did Luxembourg surrender to the Nazis?
This excerpt from the history of Luxembourg comes from wikipedia and is a little long but it gives a good explanation to you about how the Nazis tricked several nations into signing neutrality documents and then invaded those countries any how. On May 10th, 1940 the Nazis invaded Luxembourg. It really was not a case of surrendering to the Nazis. See below.
Upon the outbreak of the Second World War in September 1939, the government of Luxemburg observed its neutrality and issued an official proclamation to that effect on September 6, 1939.[3]. On May 10, 1940, the Luxembourgish government and monarchy was swept away into exile by the German invasion of that date, although German troops actually occupied Luxembourg City during the night of 9 May. Throughout the war, Grand Duchess Charlotte broadcast via on BBC to Luxembourg to give hope to the people. The state was placed under military occupation until August 1942, when it was formally annexed by the Third Reich as part of the GauMoselland. Luxembourgers were declared to be German citizens and 13,000 were called up for military service. 2,848 Luxembourgers eventually died fighting in the German army. Luxembourgish opposition to this annexation took the form of passive resistance at first, as in the Spéngelskrich (lit. "War of the Pins"), and by the refusal to speak German. As French was forbidden, many Luxembourgers resorted to resuscitating old Luxembourgish words, which led to a renaissance of the language. Other measures included deportation, forced labour, forced conscription and, more drastically, internment, deportation to concentration camps and execution. The latter measure was applied after a so called general strike from 1 September to 3 September 1942, which paralyzed the administration, agriculture, industry and education as response to the declaration of forced conscription by the German administration on 30 August 1942. It was violently suppressed: 21 strikers were executed and hundreds more deported to concentration camps. The then civilian administrator of Luxembourg, Gauleiter Gustav Simon had declared conscription necessary to support the German war effort. It was to remain one of the few mass strikes against the German war machinery in Western Europe.
U.S. forces again liberated most of the country in September 1944, although they were briefly forced to withdraw during the Ardennes Offensive (Battle of the Bulge) which had German troops take back most of northern Luxembourg for a few weeks. The Germans were finally expelled in January 1945. Altogether, of a pre-war population of 293,000, 5,259 Luxembourgers lost their lives during the hostilities
