What type of factory was Okar Schindler running?

Oskar Schindler ran a metalware factory, specifically an enamelware and munitions factory in Krakow, Poland, during World War II.

The factory, known as Deutsche Emailwarenfabrik (DEF), originally produced enamelware items like pots and pans. When war broke out, the factory was forced to switch to producing war materials, primarily artillery shells.

Schindler used his factory to employ and protect Jews from the horrors of the Holocaust. He bribed officials, forged documents, and created false work lists to save the lives of his Jewish employees.
