Okay, I've got some really specific and slightly strange questions about medicine, history, and the history of medicine. For context, I'm writing a dieselpunk/fantasy novel set towards the end of World War Two (around 1943-'45), and these are the questions I have:
1. What sort of medical equipment and medicine is needed to keep someone in a medically induced coma, and how long is it safe to keep someone like this?
2. Would the German government have this sort of equipment available to them at this time?
3.This one is kind of complicated. I want to have the MC be a sort of super soldier, but I also want to have some basis in reality. So if you could help me figure out how far I could go to make him "Super" before resorting to magic, it would be appreciated.
