The major department of the [[SS]] that had responsibilities for economic affairs. Since [[concentration camp]]s were considered slave labor resources as well as potential sources of confiscated goods, the actual operation of the camps, as opposed to sending people to them, was under the WVHA. While security organizations such as the [[RSHA]] and [[Gestapo]] operated in the camps, they did not control them, just as the actual guards were from yet another SS organization, a division of the [[armed SS|Waffen-SS]].
The major department of the [[SS]] that had responsibilities for economic affairs, including  [[concentration camp]]s, which  were considered slave labor resources as well as potential sources of confiscated goods.
