      Lets also not forget that those prisoner uniforms were worn by Wehrmacht POW's as well from all branches of service at Buchenwald and other camps in Eastern Germany were used as concentration camps again until 1950. Nearly half of the internees at Buchenwald alone perished from starvation and mistreatment.

      So if you wanted to get really creative in your mind, the red triangle was a post-post war additon after it was worn by a Waffen-SS veteran (45-50), after it was worn by a 33-45 inmate. So it could be a Jewish Homosexual Communist (what color would that star be?) and a Waffen-SS veterans garb (TK?), only to have the historic value tarnished by someone applying the triangle post war!
      Dear Colleague, many thanks for your learned and informed note. Sapere aude! DA
