Best Answer

it was all to do with Himmler's desire to find out what an Aryan was (as the gypsies were the closest decendents of the Aryans), he wanted them collected, examined and experimented on. By the end of the war the best way to deal with them was to kill them in the same way that they had killed the Jews.
