Project WARLUX - Soldiers and their communities in WWII: The impact and legacy of war experiences in Luxembourg is a research project based atthe Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH) (University of Luxembourg). The projects focuses on the war experiences of male Luxembourgers born between 1920 and 1927 who were recruited and conscripted into Nazi German services ( Reichsarbeitsdienst ( RAD ) and Wehrmacht ) under the Nazi occupation in Luxembourg during the Second World War. Data Sample While over 12,000 men and women were affected by the conscription, Project WARLUX focuses on a case study of 304 recruits from Schifflange and their families. In total, the data sample includes around 1200 persons, recruits and their family members.

The surveys and statistics conducted by the Luxembourgish state provide valuable insights into the experiences and trajectories of the war-affected generation. It is important to note that the dataset is a composite of multiple heterogeneous sources, reflecting its diverse origins. Database The researchers involved in the WARLUX project opted for the utilization of a relational database, nodegoat. The WARLUX project adheres to an object-oriented approach, which is reflected in the core functionalities provided by nodegoat . Given the project's specific focus on the war experiences of recruited Luxembourgers within Nazi services such as the Wehrmacht and RAD , the included data ...
