In Field D, immediately to the left behind the main entrance, there is a grave field with 27 prisoners of war and forced laborers. They had to work in the Cuxhaven shipyard and fish processing plants and died there between 1942 and 1946 from illness, accidents and air raids. Also buried there are former forced laborers who died after their liberation from the assembly camp. There are also 12 citizens of the former Soviet Union, 10 Polish citizens, including women and children, 1 Belgian, 1 Serbian, 1 Dutchman, 1 Romanian and 1 Greek.
