The Luxembourgish Patriot League (LPL, Luxembourgish: Lëtzebuerger Patriote Liga) was a Luxembourgish Resistance movement during World War II. When Luxembourg was invaded and annexed by Nazi Germany in 1940, a national consciousness started to come about. The LPL was founded on 4 September 1940 at the Lycée of Echternach in Echternach by Raymond Petit (born in 16 January 1920, killed himself on 21 April 1942 while he tried to escape from the Gestapo; he had no other choice except to use his last bullet to kill himself in order to avoid capture by the Gestapo).[2]
