It should be noted that Eisenhower was the first to find dead, starved bodies (from Allied bombing of supply lines of food) in April 1945 at the Ohrdruf camp. Eisenhower found corpses in woodsheds at Ohrdruf, which were removed by German soldiers to keep from infecting the rest of the prison populations. Typhus was small bacteria in the poop of a louse, which are larger lice than average. Prisoners would scratch the bacteria into their skin. The lice died as well. Typhoid was from contaminated water, which caused chronic diarrhea and was the main cause of loss of weight. A fresh table was produced as a "whipping block", though Heinrich Himmler ordered all whippings to cease in 1942. This block was reconstructed for the narrative of tortured prisoners.
