N1  - Includes bibliographical references; Fort Leavenworth, Kansas 66027—title page; The soviet army in the field was never a particularly clean army. They dug latrines, but seldom used them. They defecated in their mess and bivouac areas. They dumped unwrapped bread directly on the ground and left it there until they served it. They seldom washed their hands and did a poor job on washing their mess kits. They threw cans, trash and uneaten bits of food around the bivouac area. Showers and clean clothes in the field were occasional at best. Barracks life was not always much of an improvement—(p. 21)
