"The American St. Nick"

Latest comment: 7 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Am rather surprised that there is absolutely no mention of the 28th Division and the role that one of its soldiers to bring cheer to the entire village by portraying St. Nicholas.

Especially considering how important the town considers it and the ceremony/tradition that has sprung up around the event of 5 December 1944. And also considering that the person/soldier who portrayed St. Nick was recently awarded Luxembourg's highest military honor.

If you need further proof of the importance of this historical event, either read the book "The American St. Nick" or watch the documentary of the same name or GOOGLE it. 2600:8800:50B:6700:C23F:D5FF:FEC5:89B6 (talk) 00:06, 28 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Erroneous Link to Eschweiler

Latest comment: 11 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The link at the very end of the "History" section to Eschweiler links to Eschweiler, Germany. This is clearly incorrect, and must be a confusion with Eschweiler, Luxembourg.

I don't know anything about editing in Wikipedia, so I must leave that to others. I lived in Luxembourg for 8 months in the 1980s, and visited both Wiltz and Eschweiler several times. I do not know about recent political issues such as Wiltz absorbing Eschweiler, but certainly if Wiltz absorbed Eschweiler it was the Eschweiler that is a little north of Wiltz, not Eschweiler, Germany which is approximately 90 km away and across the border.
