Oflag X-C, Military prison camp in Lübeck, Germany.

The German World War II officer camp Oflag X-C stood at the intersection of Friedhofsallee and Vorwerkstrasse near the Schwartau district of Lübeck.

In June 1940, French officers from the Battle of France arrived at the camp, followed by British and Commonwealth officers from North Africa in 1941.

The camp population reflected international diversity with officers from France, Britain, Poland, and other Allied nations sharing their military experiences.

The camp operated until May 2, 1945, when British 2nd Army troops arrived and initiated the repatriation process through Operation Exodus.

French theologian Yves Congar and businessman Robert Blum, son of Léon Blum, were among the notable prisoners confined at this military facility.
