Identity Card Issued at Differedange During the WW2 Occupation Showing Extensive French Language Deletion

2 Fr. Hotel de Ville
29 Oct 1940

Taxe Communale & Differdange
Crossed Out

Cancel:  Meldeamt Differdingen
[Differdange Registration Office]

All French text has been crossed out, because the occupiers strictly enforced their German-only language law.  Even the Coat-of-Arms on the cover has been crossed out.  Imagine the resentment that this law surely engendered among the Luxembourgeoise.
