When World War II began, two German geologists made an unbelievable choice. Instead of picking a side or risking internment, Henno Martin and Hermann Korn disappeared into one of the deadliest places on Earth — the Namib Desert.
For more than two years they survived in the wilderness with no help, no safety net, and no guarantee they would ever return. They hunted for food, searched for water, and used their scientific knowledge to stay alive while the world tore itself apart around them.
This is the true story of two men who chose the desert over war… and lived to write about it in The Sheltering Desert.
