 the farm to compensated the enlisted men. Even the locals were born Danish, the were enlisted to the German Army.   

 POW’s from the camp in Bovlund constructed digged the channels in Agerskov to drain the area.  These were English, French
 and Russians.  From the camp in Højrup the POW’s that drained some land in Tislund. Primarily English and Russians.
