Charlotte, Grand Duchess of Luxembourg, returns from exile in 1945 (in color)

Charlotte of Nassau-Weilburg (23.01.1896 - 9.07.1985) was Grand Duchess of Luxembourg from 1919 to 1964 and Duchess of Nassau. After the occupation of Luxembourg on 10 May 1940 by German troops the Grand Duchess and her family and the government fled to exile in Canada and London via France, Portugal and the United States. From 1940 to 1944, the Grand Duchess became a symbol of freedom and independence of her country through her radio talks on the BBC. During this time she visited in 1941 Luxembourg emigrant groups and clubs in the United States. Then she traveled in 1942 and 1943 on the so-called "goodwill tours" through the United States. On 25 August 1942 the Grand Ducal family was received by U.S. President Roosevelt. Finally, on 10 September 1944 the city of Luxembourg had been liberated by American troops. Prince Felix and hereditary Grand Duke Jean returned the same day and were enthusiastically acclaimed by the population. On 14 April 1945 also the Grand Duchess returned from exile. After having returned, she visited the villages and towns of the country that had been destroyed during the Battle of the Bulge. Translated text by Wikipedia: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlott...)
