To relieve overcrowding, some of the officers were transferred to Oflag VII-C/Z in Tittmoning Castle.

Previously, in September 1944, after lengthy negotiations, 125 elderly and sick prisoners were repatriated to Great Britain via Sweden.

In April 1944 the count of internees in Laufen included 459 British internees (417 Channel Islanders) and 120 American civilians who had been trapped in Europe when war was suddenly declared in December 1941.

Even though the camp housed civilians, it continued to be operated by the German Army.

Eight Channel Island internees died in Laufen camp during the period of internment.
