You're right, but that's almost always because of extremely fat individuals. Which is not something one would reasonably expect to find in a German prison camp.
For a better understanding of what went on, read my other, longer comment. Don't take my commentary to imply what happened is acceptable. It's not. Not in any way. But neither are the lies we've all been forced to swallow.

Once you get the fire going, with dehydrated indiviuals with typhus, your 3 buckets of water aren't there to stop it.

Dehydration was generally not an issue. It was food, clothing, coal, sanitation, and medication which were the items largely in need.
Edit: Generally, those suffering from dehydration were suffering because of disease.

But all the deniers say it was typhus/dysentery... Which tend to kill through dehydration as much as anything.
Y'all need a more consistent set of myths.

Read what I said. Nothing I stated contradicts these facts.
When you're vomiting of suffering from diarrhea, dehydration is common even when water is readily available.
It appears I was editing my comment at the same time you were creating yours.

Therefore, they could easily lack 3 buckets of water on board, especially emaciated people.
