Numbers were tattooed on people who were in the concentration camps, so they could be identified by numbers instead of names. It was a way of depersonalizing them, making them seem more like just a number, not like a real person, which psychologically would have made it easier for those who killed them to view the people as not real human beings.
Yes there were many, many female prisoners during the Holocaust.
No, it is not legal to tattoo a prisoner of war (a captured soldier) forceably, the prisoners that were tattooed were the Jewish prisoners in the German concentration camps. These people were not prisoners of war (they were not soldiers).
Usually on the underside of the forearm. ------------------------- Initially they had the number tattooed on the chest, but towards the end it was changed to the arm, of course most of the survivors were later arrivals, so the tattooing on the arm is more notorious

Yes, prisoners at the Flossenbürg concentration camp were tattooed. In many concentration camps, including Flossenbürg, prisoners were marked with a series of numbers as a means of identification. These tattoos were typically placed on the prisoner's forearm.
People were tattooed because it was a number that Jews were forced to wear under Hitler's rule.
