From 1940 to 1945 Denmark was occupied by Nazi Germany. The nazi oppression also manifested itself in the border area of Harrislee/Padborg. From 15 September 1944 to 16 February 1945 some 1600 Danish prisoners from the Frøslev camp in occupied Denmark were deported to concentration camps in Germany. They were taken across the border to Harrislee railway station. Here they were packed before the eyes of the local population in cattle cars and transported to the concentration camps Neuengamme near Hamburg and Dachau near Munich. Approximately 220 of these prisoners did not return alive.
