During World War-II the camp was used by the German occupying forces as a FLAK camp.
The camp was also involved in the Uprising of the Georgians (Dutch: Opstand van de Georgiërs, Georgian: ტექსელის აჯანყება).
Georgians serving the Wehrmacht began a revolt against the Wehrmacht on 6 April 1945 which did not end until 20 May 1945, two weeks after the end of World War II.
Texel became known as the "last battlefield in Europe".
