The experiment consisted of two parts first freezing the victim then defrosting the victim They would first strip the person down then put them into below freezing water and study how long it took them to die. After phase one was complete they would put a person into freezing water right before they would die and study ways to warm them. One of these ways was to use sun lamps that were so hot their skin would burn. Another way was hot bath which meant placing the victim into a hot bath and slowly raising the temp., if they were heat to rapidly they would die.
