Originally a work camp at the west end of the huge German Army training grounds Bergen, it was transformed into a POW camp at the end of 1939, to serve as a base for prisoners working in Arbeitslager. In July 1941 over 10,000 Soviet army officers were imprisoned here. Thousands of them died in the winter of 1941/42 as a result of a typhoid fever epidemic. Later prisoners of many other nationalities were incarcerated here. On 11 October 1944 475 women fighters of the Warsaw Uprising were transported to Fallingbostel. 90 officers and 9 orderlies were transferred to sub-camp Bergen-Belsen, then later transferred to Oflag IX-C in Molsdorf. The balance were later transferred to Stalag VI-C in Oberlangen.
