Like those who wore pink and green triangles, people in the bottom two categories would have been convicted in criminal courts. <gallery class="center" caption="Some period examples of the double triangle design at Nazi camps" widths="180px" heights="180px"> File:Prisoners in the concentration camp at Sachsenhausen, Germany, December 19, 1938.
