SS blood group tattoo
SS blood group tattoos ((ドイツ語:Blutgruppentätowierung)) were worn by members of the Waffen-SS in Nazi Germany during World War II to identify the individual's blood type. After the war, the tattoo was taken to be ''prima facie'', if not perfect, evidence of being part of the Waffen-SS, leading to potential arrest and prosecution.
==Description and purpose ==
The SS blood group tattoo was applied, in theory, to all Waffen-SS members, except members of the British Free Corps. It was a small black ink tattoo located on the underside of the left arm, usually near the armpit. It generally measured around 7 mm (0.28 inches) long, and was placed roughly 20 cm (8 inches) above the elbow. The tattoo consisted of the soldier’s blood type letter, either A, B, AB or O. The discovery of the Rh factor had been made in 1937, but was not fully understood during World War II, so was not implemented. In the early part of the war tattoos were printed in Fraktur, while later on they were printed in Latin-style.
The purpose of the tattoo was to identify a soldier's blood type in case a blood transfusion was needed while unconscious, or his ''Erkennungsmarke'' (dog tag) or ''Soldbuch'' (pay book) were missing. The tattoo was generally applied by the unit's ''Sanitäter'' (medic) in basic training, but could have been applied by anyone assigned to do it at any time during his term of service.
