B Correct answer
Explanation

SS members did have their blood type tattooed, but the location was incorrect. The tattoo was placed on the inner underside of the left arm, typically near the armpit, not directly in the armpit itself. This practice began around 1941 and was intended to facilitate blood transfusions for wounded SS members.
