Frøslev Prison Camp (Danish: Frøslevlejren, German: Polizeigefangenenlager Frøslev) was an internment camp in German-occupied Denmark during World War II.

In order to avoid deportation of Danes to German concentration camps, Danish authorities suggested, in January 1944, that an internment camp be created in Denmark. The German occupation authorities consented, and the camp was erected near the village of Frøslev in the south-west of Denmark, close to the German border. From mid-August until the end of the German occupation in May 1945, 12,000 prisoners passed through the camp's gates. Most of them were suspected members of the Danish resistance movement, Communists and other political prisoners. Living conditions in the camp were generally tolerable, but 1,600 internees were deported to German concentration camps, where 220 of them died (approximate numbers). (from Wikipedia.com)

Here's my pictures from Frøslev Prison Camp Smiley

Depressing place (although certainly not the worst WWII prison camp), and you captured that.

Bognor Regis - late 70's, early 80's - t'was awful.  Grin

Alas they had to do away with the machine guns after sweeping reforms brought in during the early 80's, you know, health & safety & all that.
