Film survives a lot of time if the conditions are right. We have several examples during the last years of ancient plates and roll films being discovered and the negatives were still intact or recoverable.

I have an elderly customer that fought in the bulge. One interesting story he told me was when he got to go to town for supplies, he had his uniform cleaned...Said it was so much colder after that, that the ground in dirt for so long was a great insulator and waterproofer..
