DAW took over the Lipowa Zwangsarbeiterlager, with prisoners of the Lublin Ghetto,[3] and soon expanded to include Lublin Airfield, and the Majdanek concentration camp labour force in October 1941.[4] DAW was subordinate to the SS-WVHA.[5] The Lublin Airfield was a location of several of its plants, including a subsidiary of the Waffen SS clothing workshops, the SS garrison, a glass factory, a truck and the SS troop supply depot, and a prisoner lab producing pharmaceuticals.[3]
