A new television series of interest to hardcore WW2 battlefield explorers began airing the end of October 2019 on the National Geographic Channel in the USA (link to the show in the UK). Ultimate Survival WWII consists of six episodes and is presented by adventurer/survivalist Hazen Audel. The show is an interesting, refreshing, and redefining take on the WW2 television documentary genre. Of note and pleasant surprise, the subject of one of the episodes, Desert Island Manhunt, is..., which is an area of our expertise and destination on our Solomons expeditions... Sentence about our team members mentioning the filming to us and they served as local handlers/assisted with filming of this episode. Instead of reviewing the series as a whole, I will comment and give my feedback on each of the six episodes. The official synopsis of the show reads: 'Hazen Audel travels across the globe to relive some of the most astonishing stories of wilderness survival from World War II. During this brutal conflict, soldiers, sailors and airmen became lost behind enemy lines in some of the most inhospitable places on Earth, beginning epic battles to stay alive. Now Hazen will retrace these journeys in the same locations and armed with the same supplies, to see if he has what it takes to make it out alive.'

'The very atmosphere of a battle defies description and eludes the imagination. Words cannot convey even a suggestion of the sounds heard and the emotions felt, when every faculty is heightened, when every nerve is tense.'
