That's going to be such a migrane to keep track of!? Will the Gub ment pass 
out little booklets to keep it all organized?? I hope they do and are 
charged $210 each but of course hand them out for free, with a penalty on 
income tax for anyone who doesn't pick one up of course.?? :-)

Single triangles
??? ? Red triangle?political prisoners: liberals, communists, trade 
unionists, royalists, social democrats and socialists, Freemasons,anarchists.
??? ? Green triangle? "professional criminals" (convicts, often Kapos, 
serving in exchange for reduced sentences or parole).
??? ? Blue triangle?foreign forced laborers, emigrants.
??? ? Pink triangle?sexual offenders, mostly homosexual men but rarely 
rapists, zoophiles and paedophiles.[2]
??? ? Purple triangle? Bible Students
??? ??? ? primarily Jehovah's Witnesses; see also Persecution of Jehovah's 
Witnesses in Nazi Germany
??? ??? ? Free Bible Students
??? ??? ? International Missionary Society
??? ? Black triangle?people who were deemed "asocial elements" and "work 
shy" including
??? ??? ? Roma (Gypsies), who were later assigned a brown triangle
??? ??? ? The mentally ill
??? ??? ? Alcoholics
??? ??? ? Vagrants and beggars
??? ??? ? Pacifists
??? ??? ? Conscription resisters
??? ??? ? Prostitutes[3][4][dead link]
??? ??? ? Some anarchists
??? ??? ? Drug addicts
??? ??? ? Lesbians
??? ? Brown triangle?Roma (Gypsies) (previously wore the black triangle).[5]
??? ? Uninverted red triangle?an enemy POW, spy or a deserter.
People who wore the green and pink triangles were convicted in criminal 
courts and may have been transferred to the criminal prison systems after 
the camps were liberated.
[edit]Double triangles


Disabled Jews with a black triangle on a yellow ? "asocial Jews". 
Buchenwald, 1938.
Double-triangle badges resembled two superimposed triangles forming a Star 
of David, a Jewish symbol.
??? ? Two superimposed yellow triangles, the "Yellow badge"?a Jew
??? ? Red inverted triangle superimposed upon a yellow one?a Jewish 
political prisoner
??? ? Green inverted triangle upon a yellow one?a Jewish "habitual criminal"
??? ? Purple inverted triangle superimposed upon a yellow one?a Jehovah's 
Witness of Jewish descent[6]
??? ? Pink inverted triangle superimposed upon a yellow one?a Jewish "sexual 
offender"
??? ? Black inverted triangle superimposed upon a yellow one?"asocial" and 
"work shy" Jews
??? ? Voided black inverted triangle superimposed over a yellow triangle?a 
Jew convicted of miscegenation and labeled as a "race defiler"
??? ? Yellow inverted triangle superimposed over a black triangle?an Aryan 
(woman) convicted of miscegenation and labeled as a "race defiler"
Like those who wore pink and green triangles, people in the bottom two 
categories would have been convicted in criminal courts.
