From November 1, 1944 until December 16, 1944, a concentration camp was established near Ladelund.[2] The prisoners were mostly Dutch, Polish, Soviet, French, Italian, Belgian and Czechoslovak.[2] In the six weeks of being in production 301 people died through hard labour, starvation and infection diseases. Among the deaths were also 111 Puttenaren, men from the village Putten in the Netherlands, who got deported during the Putten raid because the action was undertaken as a reprisal for a Dutch resistance attack on a vehicle carrying personnel from the Wehrmacht.
