Almost no one used deodorants until the 50s or early 60s, and there were no anti-perspirants being marketed until probably the mid-60s. About all they had was perfumed talcum powder. Older folks may remember when they sold "dress shields" to prevent sweat stains. People didn't smell bad in those days, because they used soap and water. Europeans were always known (and are to this day) for stomach-turning body odor, because regular bathing isn't a tradition in their socialist hellholes. Even with the chemicals, democrat hippies always stunk, because they didn't bathe, and you can't cover your entire body with Right Guard.
