Oflag IX-C was a German prisoner-of-war camp for officers during World War II, located just to the south of the village of Molsdorf, near Erfurt in Thuringia.
The camp housed women officers of the Armia Krajowa captured after the 1944 Warsaw Uprising. It consisted of seven wooden barrack huts and an administration building, originally built in 1938 for slave labourers from nearby Buchenwald concentration camp who were working on the autobahn near Erfurt. The camp now came under the administrative command of Stalag IX-C near Bad Sulza. In December 1944, 380 women officers, 38 female orderlies and three children were brought there from other POW camps: Stalag XI-B Fallingbostel, Stalag XI-B/Z Bergen-Belsen, Gross-Rosen, Stalag IV-E Altenburg, Stalag 344 Lamsdorf and Stalag X-A Sandbostel. The Senior Polish Officer was Major Wanda Gertz.
