Of the nearly 750,000 soldiers that died, 95,000 died from diarrhea or dysentery.
For every soldier that died on the battlefield, two died from disease.
Poor hygiene, crowded conditions, lack of medical treatment, and latrines built near streams, created the perfect breeding ground for diseases to proliferate and spread amongst the soldiers.
Here are some excerpts:
—Don’t marry your cousin. It may be very tempting; relatives are often warmly attached to each other from long and intimate acquaintance. Remember that constantly thrown in each other’s society will often create such attachments. With many persons, marriage of blood relations will more or less lead to deafness, blindness, or deformity.

Hitler and his cronies had a wish list of works they planned to plunder from the countries they invaded, and Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, the most famous painting in the world then and now, was at the top of the list. It was Jacques Jaujard, director of France’s National Museums, who thwarted Hitler’s scheme, pulled the wool over the eyes of the collaborationist tools of the Vichy government, and kept the Louvre’s contents, including the Mona Lisa, safe for the duration of the war.
