There's more than a little uncertainty in the historical data.

The Federal Reserve has a data series called 'long term government bond yields' that shows a low of 1.98% hit in both July and October 1941. But it does not specify what 'long term' means.
Per Roger Ibbotson of Yale, the all time low was actually 0.92% in April of 1942.
The WSJ reported the all time low as 1.672% set in February of 1946.

I also show a low of 1.71% in Dec. 1941 - from the Fed's "Banking Stats..." publication.
