E769
E769 Reigersfeld (sometimes referred to as Heydebreck or Blechammer South). It was a small camp which held about 600 men most of whom had originally been in Italian POW camps. The camp was constructed in 1944 and the men were used as labour at the IG Farben synthetic oil facility. All the Blechammer sites were priority bombing targets during WW2.
