According to Luxarazzi:
On August 31st, Grand Duke Henri was in Wiltz to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the strike that began on that day in 1942. This event, which reflected the increasing unrest among Luxembourgers facing Nazi oppression and enforced conscription, started in Wiltz and resulted in people refusing to work. The strike spread to other towns, including Differdange, Schifflange, and Esch-sur-Alzette, before many strikers were arrested and imprisoned; 21 of the strikers were sentenced to death.
