WW2 bunker hunting.
In 1940 Britain faced the threat of invasion. Among the preparations made was the establishment of a unit of top-secret, suicidal, assassins and saboteurs called Auxiliaries. They had bunkers set back from the coast from which they planned to emerge and strike at German targets. They had two weeks of supplies. They were not expected to live any longer than that.
