Catching up with the DC TV universe got more interesting with this four part crossover between the four programmes existing at the time. The use of Nazi's as villains is always disturbing since unlike other villains these bastards actually existed and creating an alternative Earth where they won the war has been part of historical speculation for as long as I can remember.
DC used the "multiple Earth's" concept as far back as Flash #126 in Tales of Two Worlds and continued in Justice League under the various "Crisis" banners for many a year culminating in the one all-time famous Crisis On Infinite Earths a story that changed comic books forever heralding in the age of the Dark Knight, the Watchmen and more.

The first adventure involving the DC heroes on Earth X took place way back in Justice League America #107 to #108 and featured the return of Uncle Sam and a number of other "Golden Age characters" in the form of the Freedom Fighters who would go on to get their own albeit short lived series.
For this TV adaptation we have the involvement of the heroes of three Earths. The Earth One team led by Green Arrow and Supergirl coming over from Earth 38. Plus of course there are one or two heroes in the resistance on Earth X including The Ray (albeit from Earth One), a "good guy" Captain Cold and Red Tornado makes an appearance.
The bad guys? Hitler dead and replace by Oliver Queen their Arrow plus Overgirl the Earth X version of Kara Danvers. A Nazi Supergirl with no heart. Almost literally as it turns out. Oh and the Revers Flash makes his appearance on the side of the Nazi's. A pity Flash lacks the killer instinct I thought. Oliver certainly didn't.
When it comes to Nazi's there can be no surrender. No compromise.
I really enjoyed this particular crossover. Sadly spoiled by a poor soundtrack on my copy. However if you get the chance to view please do.
