Were the black and white stripped uniforms and emasculated bodies a symptom of typhus?

Okay, so most of these camps were filled with communists, that so happened to be Jews because Jews, just by pure coincidence, happened to almost completely dominate communism at the time. The striped uniforms were absolutely prison uniforms, there is no debate about that. Those people were in internment camps. Many of these pictures though, were taken towards the end of the war. This is important for two reasons: 1) there was disease spread in these camps that was very prevalent at the time and 2) the Russians had almost completely cut German supply chains at this time. Meaning, the prisoners were showing a bad combination of disease and starvation.

work camps. Because work sets you free, instead of being usurous leeches on society

What do you think would have happened to the Japanese if we lost the war, and had our food and medical supply lines bombed?
