The nazi's were anal about everything. They had dozens of different symbols for:
Political offender
Social offender
Kriminal
Anti Social behavior offender
Religious offender
Jew
Socialist
etc. Each different class had it's own "patch," shaped like a triangle. Let's say a political prisoner was a blue triangle (can't remember which was which), and they were also a jew. They would get a 1/2 blue, 1/2 yellow Star of David. If you were a political homosexual, you'd have a 1/2 pink, half blue star, etc.
Hey, just realized I have a pic of this from Dachau, hold on, let me scan and post...

Looking down the first vertical row is the classification for "Political", 3rd vertial row is for "Immigrant", 4th row is for "bible thumpers", and the last vertical row is for "Social Misfits." (I believe, German, anyone, anyone?)
You can see that the 4th horizontal row is reserved for the Juden, or Jews, and at the bottom left, black and red triangle is for the Poles. Hey, bet you didn't realize the Poles were almost as despised as the Jews huh?
Anyone who spreken ze deutsch, knock yourself out.
