So they were already sick and starving when they arrived. No doubt
they would have died in equal or greater numbers had they been left
where they were - and they wouldn't have infected the rest of the
camp. Good job, Philthy.

It requires more than just numbers.

And DDT - which was to Typhus what Penicillin was to infections. DDT
was a magic bullet that could be used on clothing, bedding, bunks,
buildings, and most importantly - DIRECTLY ON HUMANS - with little or
no ill effect. DDT was a weapon that the Germans did *not* have.

Once again, all the Germans had was Zyklon-B and hygiene measures.
There is no comparison.

We also know that the Nazi's access to foodstuffs was limited.

And BTW, Philthy, how do you justify Eisenhower's murdering of one
million German POW's via disease and starvation in the TRUE "Death
CAmps" of WWII?

And killing the louse was something that the British, with their DDT,
were immeasurably better equipped to do.

Note that Philthy posted no link to his quote. Why do you suppose that
is?

Was there further exculpatory verbiage that you didn't want us to
read, Phithmeister?
