What was the state of WWII cryonics?
Whether Captain America frozen in ice or boys from Brazil, stories of Nazi cryonics reviving the past abound in science fiction. What was the actual state of cryogenic temperature technologies during the WW II era? Would it have been feasible for the Germans to have created underground Alpine bunkers able to freeze and preserve super-soldiers for a future war?
Indeed, Walt Disney was not frozen. That is of absolute certainty.
I wholly disagree that cryonics is irreversible today. Indeed, as far back as the 1960's, vitrified sheep brains showed spontaneous resumption of near normal EEG activities upon thawing.
Cryonics patients thawed today would suffer massive brain damage, plus the original trauma that killed them in the first place, but reversibilty is demonstrated. Revival, restoration of health and repair of brain damage is the ongoing experiement, not whether it can be done.

This is highly unlikely since cryonics is impossible even today in 2007. There has NEVER been a person successfully frozen and later reanimated. Most of the original group of test subject frozen in 1967 have since been thawed out and buried and NONE have ever shown any signs of being revived. If we cannot do it today I am 100% positive that the Germans could not do it then.
Incidentally, Walt Disney is NOT frozen.

I would not doubt that the thought may have come up in their quest to create {actually they thought they were] the Super Race. I have done some reading on their scientific quests. That does not seem to have come into play. As the previous respondent said we haven't succeeded with it now and highly unlikely then. Science Fiction is frequently close to truth but not in this case.
