I've been there, know people from there, and even know there are some families who keep up the tradition of speaking Latin (called Romansch or some such).

General Patton is revered as a godlike being of divine proportions.

My son visited Luxembourg when he was stationed in Germany, said he enjoyed it very much.

Luxembourgish is a German dialect, similar to Alsatian, Romansh is a Romance language spoken by a tiny minority of Swiss and is closer to French than any other major language.

BTW, my unit's Roman Catholic chaplain in Germany, who spent the War in Dachau for resistance to Nazis, had met Patton personally and had a very high opinion of him.
