Symptoms of epidemic typhus include headache, fever, muscle aches, and weakness. A rash consisting of bumps and spots may also develop. This rash begins on the chest, back, and abdomen then it spreads to the legs and arms. The brain or heart muscle may also swell in extreme cases, which may be fatal if left untreated.
The British had problems with it in their concentration camps during the Boar war, the epidemic killed several thousand inmates; but by far the largest number of people to die of epidemic typhus died in the concentration camps of world war two. Towards the end of the war there was mass starvation caused by the destruction of the rail transport system, with no food or medicines reaching the camps the victims chances of recovery became minimal, the skeletal corpses of hundreds of victims were found still unburied when the camps were liberated.
The International Red Cross had observers embedded in the camps and they confirmed that the conditions had been acceptable for the most part, the diet was monotonous but nutritious, there were hospital facilities, and even recreation facilities. The problem had been caused by shortages of fumigant (Cyclone B) to kill the disease carrying body lice, they had used steam pressure fumigation but it was found to be less than 100% reliable.
Veteran's Testimony - George P. McLaughlin 59th Evacuation Hospital.
Nearly 32,000 Dachau inmates of were liberated.
On 23 Apr 1945 2,340 Jews were placed into open boxcars for evacuation, but there was no locomotive, and the prisoners remained in the same boxcars without neither food nor water for three days and nights. By 26 April, over 700 had died. Moreover a Typhus outbreak (since Dec 44) was gradually killing additional inmates; this was part of the horror of Dachau.
By 9 May, the first series of vaccinations and dusting (with insecticide) were completed, and box cars filled with bodies, as well as most bodies lying about the inner compound had been removed for cremation and burial. Cleaning of the other buildings and sorting of healthy and sick people had meanwhile started.
On 10 May 1945, the CO of the 59th Evacuation Hospital was assigned as Camp Surgeon of KZ-Dachau (Dachau Concentration Camp). A group of senior Officers, the Hospital Dietician, and about 20 Enlisted Men were detailed to assist the staff. Later on, 8 Nurses were placed on Detached Service to work on the Typhus Ward (run by the US Typhus Commission).
The Ward itself was closed 9 June 1945, and treated male patients of various nationalities ranging between 17 and 58 years.

As soon as the Medical Department had sufficient personnel to carry out the task of Hospital organization, full use was made of it, including integration of the medical profession amongst former inmates to establish various national Dispensaries varying from 20 to 150 beds. These acted as a filter for a Camp Dispensary, which in itself acted as another filter for the Army Hospitals. At one time, the Medical Department had 6 Hospitals at its disposal with a total bed capacity of 7180. Administration was further complicated by the necessity to maintain quarantine for Typhus fever! As PW labour became available about 16 May, the camp organization became fully functional. The evacuation process gathered speed and more beds became available; subsequently, the Camp Hospitals, the Field Hospitals, and the inner compound Hospitals were gradually closed. The TB Ward was the last to close. The doctors at Dachau would not let most of the X-Ray section go into the camp itself because of the Typhus outbreak. But as the medical authorities needed to record both the Typhus and TB epidemics, they brought Robert Spring, the photographer in, to document their findings. |
