Oflag X-D was a German World War II prisoner-of-war camp for officers (Offizierlager) located in Fischbek, a Stadtteil of Hamburg, Germany.
Camp history
[edit | edit source]The camp was established in May 1941.[1] On 22 June 1943, all reserve officers of the Belgian Army held at Oflag II-A in Prenzlau were moved to Oflag X-D Fischbek.[2] The "A" Squadron of the 8th Hussars of the 7th Armoured Division, 2nd Army reached the camp on 23 April 1945 and arrested the guards. The liberated camp inmates, other Allied prisoners and forced labourers were moved to a repatriation camp in Soltau at a later date, organized by Major Huth.[3][4]
