http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhus

Delousing stations were established for troops on the Western Front during World War I, but the disease ravaged the armies of the Eastern Front, with over 150,000 dying in Serbia alone. Fatalities were generally between 10 and 40 percent of those infected, and the disease was a major cause of death for those nursing the sick.

In 1922, the typhus epidemic reached its peak, with some 25 to 30 million cases in Russia and 4 million cases in Poland.[14] In Russia, during the civil war between the White and Red armies, typhus killed three million people,[15][16] mainly civilians. During World War II, many German POWs after the loss at Stalingrad died of typhus. Typhus epidemics killed those confined to POW camps, ghettos, and Nazi concentration camps who were held in unhygienic conditions. Pictures of typhus victims' mass graves can be seen in footage shot at Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.[17]

Among thousands of prisoners in concentration camps such as Theresienstadt and Bergen-Belsen who died of typhus[17] were Anne Frank, at the age of 15, and her sister Margot, at the age of 19. Even larger epidemics in the postwar chaos of Europe were averted only by widespread use of the newly discovered DDT to kill the lice on millions of refugees and displaced persons.
