From September to December 1944, a subcamp of the Neuengamme concentration camp was located in Schwesing near Husum. The SS deported around 2,600 men from numerous European countries to this camp. They had to do forced labor on the construction sites of the so-called Friesenwall, a defense system that, from today's perspective, is pointless. The SS transferred some of the prisoners to Ladelund on the Danish border at the beginning of November 1944. Another subcamp of the concentration camp was built there to build anti-tank ditches.
