Nothing was exactly manufactured at the Buna slave labor facility. I assume you think they were manufacturing something there because you read something that mentions the forced laborers building something?

That is why they were building more buildings; to hold more prisoners.
What is the difference between footings and foundation?
We could start with the argument that both words mean the same thing, that is, a basis on which anything is established. However, this is not the true answer to the question, shallow foundations are often called footings which are embedded about a meter into soil. A spread footing consists of strips or pads of concrete extending below the frost line and transferring weight to the soil or bedrock below. A foundation, or a deep foundation transfers the load of a structure through the weaker top soil to a more solid foundation underneath. There are different types of foundations, as driven piles or drilled shafts for example. Foundations have sufficient load capacity and are designed by a geotechnical engineer whilst footing need only the expertise of a structural engineer
What is the difference between endowment and foundation?
"The primary difference between foundations and endowments is that the foundations are established with a pot of money and no further funds are added to it, whereas endowments can fundraise on an ongoing basis. Foundations are usually established for charitable purposes by an individual or a family, whereas endowments are public charities (i.e. many donors) for example for purpose of education. Time horizon is usually perpetuity for both, though foundations it could be finite. Foundations are required to spend a minimum of 5% of assets annually in order to protect their tax-free status, and but both may have to spend even more depending on the needs of the beneficiary."
