Propaganda can suspend the laws of physics. Corpses can't be used as fuel to burn corpses....each person is about 3 buckets of water...

Water evaporates and there are plenty of runaway crematoria fires at funeral homes. http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/5959700

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.

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.

Death due to dehydration occurs when the body loses 15-25% of its water.
