Korpset is TV 2’s series about what it takes to become an elite soldier. In season 5, twelve well-known Danes stepped into the world of three former elite soldiers and were tested physically and mentally for eight days: full packs, long marches, cold water, very little sleep, a backwards jump from a 21-metre bridge and an exercise at the top of a 70-metre tower.
Along the way the aspirants drop out one by one. Nicolas finished the whole season, right through the last and hardest day. Few ever manage it.
He was rarely the loudest voice in the group. He was the calmest, and the others naturally gravitated to him as their leader.
“The uncomfortable is where growth happens.”
