However masters of the air Major Gail Kleven’s experiences from the Bremen mission in Episode 4 to Stalag Luft III in Episode 6 are not depicted, but during his mission, he The plane was evacuated and landed on German territory.. He was probably captured by Nazi forces shortly thereafter and taken to Stalag Luft III, a prisoner of war camp specially designated for members of the Western Allied Air Forces.
