Best Answer

A company that exports a lot of goods wants to be near a port because it reduces transportation costs to the port. This is why Volkswagen built an auto factory in the port city of Emden; rather than loading the finished cars on trucks or trains and hauling them to the port, they simply drive them from the factory onto a ship.

What was manufactured at the Buna slave labor facility?

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.
