In Nazi Germany in the concentration camps were prisoners of different kinds, and their "crime" was identified by the color triangle they wore.
Jews were the most well known, and they wore two yellow triangles, one upside down over the other to form a Star of David.
Other inmates wore single triangles of various colors; the purple triangles identified the prisoners as being Jehovah's Witnesses.

What does the purple triangle patch stand for in the history of the Jehovah's Witnesses?
The purple triangle was the patch or emblem that Hitler required Jehovah's Witnesses to wear in the concentration camps. Hitler had different patches that he made the prisoners wear according to their identity, such as the star shaped patch that the Jews had to wear. Why Hitler chose the purple upside-down triangle, I do not know, but he did have an especially strong hatred for Jehova's Witneses. He boldly anounced in a speech that he would completely wipe out the Witnesses in Germany. They refused to raise arms against their fellow man and Hitler could not break their integrity.
