Could have been hypervitaminosis A caused by polar bear liver. A more likely cause is trichinosis which is carried by all bear species and kills you in 3-4 weeks. I once diagnosed a case in Alaska in an unfortunate young man who had consumed undercooked grizzly bear. He spent 3 weeks in hospital and damn near died. He started out as a strapping 6’4” 250lb. sheetrock hanger and when I encountered him at a local grocery store 6 months later he had lost 100 lbs of muscle and looked about 40 years older.

silly stuff like “nazi arctic ufo” “himalaya secret base” “scifi command center” “nazi hollow earth”
Guess he missed that epi of “Emergency” in which a couple of guys come in and .... “Oh yeah, we like our hamburgers rare, and Joe got ahold of some bear meat a couple of weeks ago...”
I had a room mate in the early 1980s. He went on Accutane, and gave me his Centrum as a result, but the worst for him was having to give up real milk for the treatment cycle.
Hmmm, perhaps lead bullets have some sort of sealing problem in extreme cold?
I had an old neighbor that was a US Coastguardsman. Early in WWII, he went on one Greenland raid to take out a German weather station.
He said it turned into a rescue mission. The Germans were quite happy to be captured, and be given three hots and cot back at Portsmouth (Kittery, ME) Naval Prison.
“Jaeger” has the connotation of being a hunter of game. The use of “hunter” in this context is more that of “seeker” or “searcher,” and German is a very precise language that makes those subtle distinctions.
The “Weather War” was an important part of WWII - the allies wanted to know the weather for bombing, and the Germans for UBoat operations.
