Concentration Camp patch ID with purple triangle to identify Bibelforsher Bible Student movement and Jehovah Witnesses

The purple triangle was a concentration camp badge used by the Nazis to identify Bibelforsher (that is Bible Student movement and Jehovah's Witnesses) in Nazi Germany. The purple triangle was introduced in July 1936 with other concentration camps such as those of Dachau and Buchenwald following in 1937 and 1938. In the winter of 1935–36, before the onset of the war, Jehovah's Witnesses have been reported to make up 20–40% of the prisoners in concentration camps, or about 600 to 1000 total. Although Jehovah's Witnesses made up the vast majority of those wearing the purple triangle (over 99%), a few members of other small pacifist religious groups were also included
