World on Fire season 2: What happened to the Chase family?
The Chase family was heavily featured in the World on Fire season 2 finale, including Harry Chase, his mother, Robina Chase, his wife Kasia, and his ex-girlfriend Lois. After they fled Poland, Harry moved Kasia to Cheshire. However, with Kasia no longer able to help her homeland fight, tensions grew.
She was recruited by British military intelligence to help MI5 find a spy among the Polish ladies. Kasia, who had returned from North Africa, decided to return to Poland to help with the war effort in a heartbreaking turn of events. This decision ended her marriage to Harry, and she parachuted into Poland.
The struggles of Marga, Henriette, and Rajib in World on Fire season 2
The World on Fire season 2 introduced viewers to a diverse range of characters like Marga. This teenager was a member of the Band of German Maidens, the Nazi Party's youth movement for girls. Her family had strong ties to the Nazi dictatorship. Marga took part in the Lebensborn program, which aimed to generate offspring with Aryan characteristics. It took a dark turn by the end of World on Fire season 2 as she faced her frightened parents and satisfied brother.
Henriette was a French Jewish nurse who assisted soldiers in fleeing to safety. Her cooperation took a heartbreaking turn when she assisted British Jewish pilot David as he fled. But she was detained after her fraudulent passport came to light. Albert, who was also at the detention camp, told her that she would be transferred to the Ravensbrück concentration camp in Germany. He gave her bribe goods and a firearm in the hope that she would be able to escape during the journey.
Rajib's path in World on Fire was also filled with difficulty. Part of the British Indian Army, fought alongside Harry in North Africa while India was still under the British Empire. Rajib disclosed that he was not fighting to help the British but to prevent India from becoming a part of Germany. His commitment to India's independence drove him to fight on.
