She joined the University of Luxembourg in 2024 as a part-time student and currently prepares her doctoral thesis under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Sonja Kmec. The current research project aims to combine an actor-centred view on the Battle of the Bulge with a more doctrinal approach.
Her fields of research cover several key topics of the Second World War, such as military tactics, real life support for field operations, the battle of the Bulge in Luxembourg, Western front and combined arms operations in 1944, dealing with the total caracter of contemporary warfare, individual actor-centred view on large-scale conflicts and both individual and collective memory.

Papers by Noëlle Manoni
L’Ardenne est envahie deux fois en 5 ans, trois fois si l’on compte l’invasion d’août 1914 qui a eu lieu 26 ans auparavant. C’est la raison du pluriel de bataille, trois invasions d’un pays que le statut de neutralité devait pourtant protéger en 1914 et en 1940.
The contribution examines how the total character of World War 2 forced individuals on taking critical choices and analyses role of civilians both as victims and as actors. Further, the generalisation of violence during the mechanized conflict also shows that the local population cannot simply escape the ongoing military operations, transforming the Second World War into a "war amongst the people".
The contribution provides an overview of various tools used by humanity before discussing the artefacts discovered during several years of excavation around the notorious Gallo-Roman villa.
Last but not least, in order to offer a more complete comprehension of the given topic, this article shall end on the depiction of several bone handles that have been found in the same area.
The contribution examines how rather forgotten footage on the Battle of the Bulge permits today's audience to get a more intimate look on the common G.I.'s situation in 1944 and more particularly it's ressourcefulness in particular harsh circumstances.
Secondly, the paper also examines the importance of silver cutlery and exquisite pottery in ancient times and discusses how ancient food habits have been linked to social and political circumstances, as well as to several regional and provincial differences.
Lastly, the above mentioned food culture is illustrated through a closer examination of several spoons that have been found around the "villa rustica" of Goeblange-Miecher (L). Thus this allows the author to dress up a catalogue of all the different types of spoons that have been found so far in the very Roman manor.

Est-ce que la logistique conditionne-t-elle la manoeuvre interarmes ? Peut-elle être décider de victoire ou de défaite ?
