Moosburg in Bavaria would be taken by General George S. Patton's 3rd Army in April 1945. The capture of Moosburg by Patton would also see the liberation of over 100,000 Allied and Soviet Prisoners of War from Stalag VIIA.

Moosburg was vital to General Patton's push south as it was a crossing point of the Amper and Isar Rivers. Thanks to the 14th Armoured Division, Patton was able to get his forces across the rivers and continue his push south in the final days of World War 2.

In this epsiode I'll take you through Moosburg to the bridges and look at the photos taken of General Patton at the Isar Bridge and other images of the 14th Armored Division as well as the former site of Stalag VIIA in Moosburg where John 'Bucky' Egan of the famed 100th Bomb Group was held prisoner in the final weeks of WW2.

Based on Donald L. Miller’s book of the same name, and scripted by John Orloff, “Masters of the Air” follows the men of the 100th Bomb Group (the “Bloody Hundredth”) as they conduct perilous bombing raids over Germany and grapple with the frigid conditions, lack of oxygen, and sheer terror of combat conducted at 25,000 feet in the air. Portraying the psychological and emotional price paid by these young men as they helped destroy the horror of the Third Reich, is at the heart of “Masters of the Air.” Some were shot down and captured; some were wounded or killed. And some were lucky enough to make it home. Regardless of individual fate, a toll was exacted on them all.

The series features a stellar cast led by Academy Award nominee Austin Butler, Callum Turner, Anthony Boyle and Nate Mann, who are joined by Raff Law, Academy Award nominee Barry Keoghan, Josiah Cross, Branden Cook and Ncuti Gatwa.
