Exact figures are hard to come by, for the great majority of cases occurred in the German concentration camps. Some 5-700, 000 people died there of typhus as a result of the very poor sanitation and practically non-existent medical care. The British and American soldiers had few casualties, as DDT (against lice) and vaccination were available to them. Among German and Russian civilians war circumstances caused a rise in figures, and casualties numbered in the thousands. But these and all other cases added only a small percentage to the concentration camp total.
