The Battle of the Bulge, which lasted 6 weeks during the winter of 44/45, began along the Our River on the night of 15/16 December 1944. The penetration of the "von Rundstedt offensive" was a surprise for the Allied troops. The Clervaux area was particularly hard hit by the German strikes, surprising the American troops.

Stroll through the streets of Clervaux and listen to anecdotes and historical stories of this epic battle, also known as the "Luxembourg Alamo". This refers to this particularly violent and cruel battle of the Texas Revolution. The losses for the American troops were particularly heavy, both in terms of material (60 tanks against 4) and human, since many soldiers were taken prisoner. One of them, Colonel Fuller, who had taken up residence in the Claravallis Hotel, has a bust of himself in the station area. Tom Scholtes of the CEBA will tell you all his anecdotes and details of this epic battle for Clervaux.
