Summary/Abstract: Even though internment camps for political detainees were abolished on 24 August 1944 by royal decree, on 25 August 1944 the Ministry of Internal Affairs directed the police and the guards corps to investigate all civilians in Romania over the age of 16, subjects of inimical countries or Romanian citizens members of the German Ethnic Group. Those considered dangerous were to be interned in ad-hoc organized camps. The documents supply interesting data on the system used by detainees in breaking out of internment centres, forced labour brigades, and hospitals.
