Luxembourg. 50 Francs 1946, 600th Anniversary of the Death of John...

Jan Ślepy lub Jan Luksemburski (luksemburski: Jang de Blannen; niemiecki: Johann der Blinde; czeski: Jan Lucemburský; 10 sierpnia 1296 - 26 sierpnia 1346), był hrabią Luksemburga od 1313 r. i królem Czech od 1310 r. oraz tytularnym królem Polski. Znany jest z tego, że zginął w bitwie pod Crécy w wieku 50 lat, będąc niewidomym od dekady. W swoim rodzinnym kraju, Luksemburgu, jest uważany za bohatera narodowego. Dla porównania, w Czechach (dawnym Królestwie Czech) Jan Luksemburski jest często uznawany za ojca Karola IV, cesarza Świętego Cesarstwa Rzymskiego, jednego z najważniejszych królów Czech i jednego z czołowych cesarzy Świętego Cesarstwa Rzymskiego. Według Cronica ecclesiae Pragensis Benesii Krabice de Weitmile, kiedy jego pomocnicy powiedzieli mu, że bitwa z Anglikami pod Crécy została przegrana i lepiej, aby uciekł, aby ratować własne życie, Jan Ślepy odpowiedział: „Absit, ut rex Boemie fugeret, sed illuc me ducite, ubi maior strepitus certaminis vigeret, Dominus sit nobiscum, nil timeamus, tantum filium meum diligenter custodite”. (” Nie daj Boże, by król Czech uciekł. Zamiast tego zabierz mnie tam, gdzie hałas bitwy jest najgłośniejszy. Pan będzie z nami. Nie ma się czego obawiać. Po prostu zaopiekuj się moim synem"). źródło: www.wikipedia.org

John the Blind or John of Luxembourg (Luxembourgish: Jang de Blannen; German: Johann der Blinde; Czech: Jan Lucemburský; 10 August 1296 – 26 August 1346), was the Count of Luxembourg from 1313 and King of Bohemia from 1310 and titular King of Poland. He is well known for having died while fighting in the Battle of Crécy at age 50, after having been blind for a decade. In his home country of Luxembourg, he is considered a national hero. Comparatively, in the Czech Republic (anciently the Kingdom of Bohemia), Jan Lucemburský is often recognized for his role as the father of Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor, one of the more significant Kings of Bohemia and one of the leading Holy Roman Emperors. According to the Cronica ecclesiae Pragensis Benesii Krabice de Weitmile, when told by his aides that the battle against the English at Crécy was lost and he better should flee to save his own life, John the Blind replied: "Absit, ut rex Boemie fugeret, sed illuc me ducite, ubi maior strepitus certaminis vigeret, Dominus sit nobiscum, nil timeamus, tantum filium meum diligenter custodite. ("Far be it that the King of Bohemia should run away. Instead, take me to the place where the noise of the battle is the loudest. The Lord will be with us. Nothing to fear. Just take good care of my son.") source: www.wikipedia.org

Luxembourg, Walfer / Walferdange. Commemorative plaque of the 1st...

The 10th Combat Team spent four days—January 24-28—battering itself against Putscheid, the last urban town in its operational area still held by German forces. Three times 1st Battalion went in with tank and TD support, only to see each attempt blunted by the aggressive, battle-wise Panzer Lehr. On January 28, after a massive bombardment that involved the entire 5th Division Artillery and most of XII Corps’ big guns, 10th CT’s riflemen finally seized what remained of Putscheid. That afternoon they easily defeated a local counterattack, concluding the Red Diamonds’ 11-day winter campaign. This victory came at a high cost. General Patton himself acknowledged the sacrifice of every American soldier who served along the Sauer that January when he exclaimed, “How human beings could endure this continuous fighting in sub-zero temperatures is still beyond my comprehension!” Yet there was little respite for those G.I.s who had just helped flatten the Bulge in Luxembourg. After taking five days to rest and reconstitute their ranks, the men of the Red Diamond moved on to an assembly area near Echternach. On February 7, they again leaped the Sauer River, only this time the 5th Infantry Division’s axis of advance faced east toward the Siegfried Line. No one knew it then, but the war in Europe would end with Nazi Germany’s unconditional surrender in just 90 days. source: warfarehistorynetwork.com
