All Hell has broken loose as the greatest heroes of World War II, The All-Star-Squadron, battle side by side with their greatest enemies, The Injustice Society, against the menace of Wotan and his mind-controlled lackey, Captain Nazi!

Travelling from mere weeks into the future, an injured Per Degaton has bade the Injustice Society to interfere with Wotan's plans ... plans which will allow him to take control of all Earth's magics and, according to Degaton, grind both America and Germany under his heel, murdering the All-Stars and the Injustice Society in the process!

An uneasy alliance formed, heroes and villains joined forces to bring down the cult of Wotan -- a task made harder by Wotan's mysterious magic amulet, which mutes or totally negates all superpowers in his dungeon lair. While speedsters Flash and Johnny Quick, along with the villainous Shade have maintained at least some of their abilites, the rest have been forced to make do with smarts and fists.

The Gentleman Ghost and Sportsmaster have convinced the younger version of Degaton of the truth of their words, hoping his assistance will turn the tide.

The severely damaged Robotman has engaged Wotan's lackey, but how long cna his resolve hold?

And -- with the wicked wizard distracted by Johnny Quick -- Wotan's amulet is in the Flash's reach.

Can our heroes save the day, or will the world soon fall under Wotan's sway?

The Gentleman Ghost and the Shade interrupt the battling All-Star Squadron and Injustice Society with a combination of amusement and deadly seriousness.

The heroes and villains, their powers muted by the magics pemeating the dank dungeon, stop their fighting as the Ghost commands their attention.

"I'm afraid, gentlemen, that we don't have much time. As I said before, you are all in deadly danger, and as they're here, it's time to put aside fisticuffs and to reveal to our All-Star Associates the truth of certain matters."

He beckons for the heroes and villains to follow him.

"Come," he says and as he passes into the light it's obvious that he really is even more translucent then normal. "Your comrades are nearby, and it seems that Dr.Mid-Nite has managed to free them from Wotan's bonds. We must gather them and work quickly!"
