After one of Schindler's workers is killed by the S.S., mention is made of the "S.S. Office of Budget and Construction" which was an agency set up in the late 1930s to coordinate construction (and later slave labor) projects in occupied territories. This office was merged with several others in 1941 to become the extremely powerful "S.S. Main Office of Economics and Administration", known as the W.V.H.A., which ran all slave labor and concentration camps throughout Nazi Germany. Department W of the W.V.H.A. (which Schindler mentions at the end of the film) was in charge of labor projects and frequently came into conflict with Department D (Concentration Camps) whose S.S. personnel were often the ones who arbitrarily killed workers.
