  1. as for the major power with teh worst hygiene in WW2, I would say it would be the USSR. and the KMT Chinese. Hygiene what Hygiene no such thing as toothpaste, soap, there were food shortages, bathing was probably in the nearest river or not at all. The KMT chinese armies foraged and lived off the land mostly since their logistics were corrupt and very inefficient. Also the Japanese late war probably had very bad hygiene in the Burma and new Guinea theaters, heck there are accounts, of starving Japanes soldiers eating the locals and allied troops and each other.

  2. USA also had the best combat medics and hospitals in WW2.

  3. US troops were probably the most cleanest of all fighting countries in WW2, they were practically lavished with equipment and had the industries to produce them.
