Masters Of The Air Finale Reveals Historical Concentration Camp Visit

World War II miniseries 'Masters of the Air' premieres on Apple TV

During the series finale of Masters of the Air, creator John Orloff confirmed that the portrayal of Major Rosie's visit to a concentration camp did indeed happen in real life. This pivotal moment in the show shed light on the atrocities of World War II and the Allied forces' mission to overcome them.

Orloff explained that the real Rosie did encounter a concentration camp, mirroring the events depicted in the finale. The inclusion of this harrowing scene was crucial in emphasizing the gravity of the war and the horrors faced by those under Nazi occupation.

Concentration camps were a grim reality during World War II, where millions of Jewish people were subjected to torture, forced labor, and mass murder by the Nazis. The liberation of these camps by American and European soldiers played a significant role in ending the genocide perpetuated by the Nazi regime.

By showcasing the brutality of the Holocaust, Masters of the Air aimed to provide a stark reminder of the evil that the Allies were fighting against. The scene involving the concentration camp served as a poignant illustration of the stakes involved in the war and the importance of standing up against oppression.

The series, available on Apple TV+, follows a group of World War II pilots as they engage in aerial combat against German forces. Based on the book Masters of the Air: America's Bomber Boys Who Fought the Air War Against Nazi Germany, the show offers a compelling portrayal of the challenges faced by these brave individuals during one of history's darkest periods.
