What color triangles did the different religious groups (those not Jews or JWs) wear in Nazi concentration camps?
score:10
According to The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum site:
Criminals were marked with green inverted triangles, political prisoners with red, "asocials" (including Roma, nonconformists, vagrants, and other groups) with black or—in the case of Roma in some camps—brown triangles. Homosexuals were identified with pink triangles and Jehovah's Witnesses with purple ones. Non-German prisoners were identified by the first letter of the German name for their home country, which was sewn onto their badge. The two triangles forming the Jewish star badge would both be yellow unless the Jewish prisoner was included in one of the other prisoner categories. A Jewish political prisoner, for example, would be identified with a yellow triangle beneath a red triangle.
There is also an image/ chart on the site. It is also shown on the Nazi concentration camp badge, which has quite a bit of other info concerning these markings.
-update-
After some further information added in the question, the red triangle is listed at this blog site as being applied to "dissenting Christian priests". So no special color was awarded to them, as mentioned in comments,it appears they were classified as general political prisoners along with:
political prisoners: social democrats, socialists, trade unionists, Freemasons, communists, and anarchists.
Another work, Jehovah's Witnesses in National Socialist Concentration Camps, mentions small numbers of other denominations being classed with purple triangles:
The concentration camp prisoner category 'Bible Student' at times apparently included a few members from small Bible Student splinter groups, as well as adherents of other religious groups which played only a secondary role during the time of the National Socialist regime, such as Adventists, Baptists and the New Apostolic community
So it appears different color badges, but still within the original color selections, may have been applied to various religious denominations.
