Is that a reason the Nazis made a point of tattooing numbers on the Jews during the Holocaust?

Probably not. Germans have a compulsive need to organize, label and categorize. The numbering tattoos were just a grotesque symptom of that.

When Hitler found out that the Jews were being tattooed against their religious beliefs, he was furious and wrote an angry letter to Goebbels. /sarc
