Cycling

Next to the Sauer bridge, coming from Diekirch, stands at the entrance to Ettelbrück a tank and a bronze figure with steel helmet and binoculars.
The memorial commemorates the commander of the 3rd US Army, General George S. Patton, who is considered a liberator of Ettelbruck and Luxembourg of Nazi Germany.
Patton is worshiped in Ettelbrück and throughout Luxembourg as a war hero, but was never himself in Ettelbrück.

"A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow," was the motto of George Smith Patton Jr. (1885-1945), a general of the US Army in World War II. He was in command of the third US army landing in Normandy. Luxembourg honored Patton as a liberator, among other things with this statue.
