When we last left our Masters of the Air heroes– John “Bucky” Egan (Callum Turner) and Gale “Buck” Cleven (Austin Butler)– they were reunited at a detainee of war camp deep in the heart of opponent area. Egan got in the camp at Stalag Luft III believing his friend died a week previously, just to discover that he lived and well. “What the hell took you so long?” he asked. The real-life Masters of the Air bromance in between the 2 Buckys continues in episode 7.
Before we get to that– here’s a fascinating historic bit. Stalag Luft III might have been the friendliest towards pilots out of all the P.O.W. camps in Germany. Given That the German Luftwaffe ran Stalag Luft III, there was an understanding in between the detainees and the guards that they were all fellow airmen. In an unusual proving of regard– in spite of which side of the war they were on– the detainees were enabled Red Cross help bundles, clothing, and even leisure equipment for playing baseball. The camp functioned as motivation for WWII movies such as The Great Escape, Stalag 17, and King Rat

Austin Butler lastly goes back to Masters in episode 7.
Of the 35,000 United States Army Air Force workers caught at Stalag Luft III, a shocking 28,000 were members of the Eighth– the department that consisted of the Bucky’s Bloody 100th. According to Smithsonian Magazine, Robert Wolff– who was a real-life internee at Stalag Luft III– when composed,”[I] satisfied more individuals from our group because jail camp than I did when I was on active service.”
There were still standards to follow, no matter how blurred the lines in between pal and opponent were at the camp. The Air Force pilots were still detainees– and one incorrect relocation might cause death. In episode 7, a guy is shot just for stepping beyond his designated zone. “These goddamn hooligans are gon na take us out one at a time, Buck,” Egan informs him. After stating that they’ll be each others’ finest male at their wedding events when they return home, the group begins to believe about getting away the camp. If tunnels is the very first idea that delves into your head, well that’s precisely what The Great Escape is based upon. Episode 7 even makes light recommendation to the occasion, calling it a “fantastic escape effort.”
