The camp was built in late 1939 by Polish prisoners of war. In 1940 the Poles were joined by Belgian and French prisoners, and by Russians in 1941.[1] Some British and Italian prisoners were also there.[2] On 25 January 1945, as Russian troops approached, the camp was abandoned and all prisoners were evacuated to the west.[1]
