The Frozen Dead story
In this film, Nazi scientist Dr. Norberg attempts to revive a number of frozen Nazi soldiers at his English estate so that the Third Reich can arise anew 20 years after the end of World War II. Norberg is unsuccessful, however, as his thawed Nazis are only zombie-like creatures, including his vicious brother, Prisoner no. 3, who attempts to strangle anyone who comes near. Norberg reduces Elsa, the best friend of his niece Jean, to a living head as part of the Nazi plot.
