100 coachings disobeyed or were settled, but avoided work for whatever reason, were temporarily interned in the disciplinary labor camps established with effect from 10 August 1940 in Lety and Hodonín. The proportion of Romani people in the total number of prisoners ranged between 10 and 15 percent and was larger in the winter months when the sources of livelihood were shrinking. (268) A literal copy of the amount of cit. production of the Reich Ministry of the Interior from 14 December 1937 became the Government Decree 89/1942 Coll. of 9. ((269) Preventive police ties were carried out in law enforcement offices in Prague-Ruzyn, Pardubice and Brno (a branch in Olšovce) and in former disciplinary labor camps in Lety u Písek and Hodonín u Kunštát. With an increase in the labour shortage, the Nazi leadership decided on the ruthless use of social elements in the Protectorate, which did not survive a large number of Roma. At the beginning of July 1942, the protectorate police reorganized in order to increase the degree of subjection to the Nazi authorities. An SS officer Erich Weinmann was appointed to the newly established post of the General Commander of the Un uniformed Protectorate Police and his first measure was the decree of 10 July 1942 "to combat Gypsy malice," which, among other things, ordered the implementation of the inventory of all "gypsies and half-breeds" in the territory of the protectorate. The conspiracy was carried out by the competent authorities, i.e. by the gendarmes and police from 1 to 3. August 1942. According to the data obtained, a total of 11 860 people submitted to the inventory. Of this number, 5830 people were named Gypsies and Gypsy mixed-breeds, 5108 persons were identified as people living in the gypsy way and 948 people living on freelance living in prison were finally counted in the second group, etc. Only 266 people were considered Romani by the police after the application of racial criteria, thus about 6500 ethnic Romani people and "Romani half-breeds" were captured, with nomadic sheets being removed, stating that they were robbing the rural population by selling allegedly poor quality products. In fact, this measure was motivated racially, as non-Romani nomads were left with nomadic permission.
