The single Danish page is a town-centre building rather than a barracks. Odense Folketeater and the Rosenhaven restaurant in Ny Vestergade were requisitioned by the German occupation authorities on 1 May 1944, chiefly to billet soldiers, and renamed Deutsches Haus. In May 1945 the premises became an open camp for several hundred Soviet citizens stranded in Denmark after German captivity.12
People from Ukraine were among them, although Danish records generally called the residents Russian, a description that covered several Soviet republics. They spent a summer in the town and performed at Odense Theatre before repatriation in August 1945, after which Austrian refugees occupied the buildings until the camp closed in March 1946.21
About 550 residents is the figure the local archival history gives, and it is a figure for the camp as a whole. There is no Ukrainian count for Rosenhaven, and what the page can show instead is the summer itself: the theatre performances, a photograph of the camp and another of former prisoners at Munke Mose.2345
A theatre and restaurant in the middle of Odense, requisitioned by the Germans in 1944, became an open camp in May 1945 for several hundred Soviet citizens stranded in Denmark, among them people from Ukraine. They spent a summer in the town, performed at Odense Theatre and were repatriated in August, after which Austrian refugees occupied the buildings until the camp closed in March 1946.
