Synopsis for "Swastika Girls!"

In the year 1945, at the end of WWII, Tom Strong – who was fighting for the Allies at the time – was tasked with finding and arresting a female Nazi war criminal. Her name was Ingrid Weiss, and due to selective breeding experiments, she was significantly more physically enhanced than even Tom. The two battle, and the fight concludes with Weiss' underground bunker exploding. Tom survives, and mistakenly assumes that Weiss perished in the explosion.

At the present time, a white rose is delivered to The Stronghold (i.e. the residence of Strongmen of America), and as Tom reads the note left by Weiss commemorating the anniversary of their first encounter, two WWII fighter planes attack the building. Tom rushes out to protect his wife, daughter, and other team members from attack, and uses his Heli-Vest to outmaneuver his attackers, eventually commandeering one of their planes. Tom has had difficulty assigning the present date to an important event in his life, but when he recognizes one of Weiss' female soldiers, he realizes she's the one behind the attack. Following another fighter plane into the dense black clouds above, he reaches a flying aircraft carrier, and confronts the unaged Ingrid Weiss once again.

Tom is able to fend off Weiss' soldiers with relative ease, but is bested by Weiss, who causes Tom to fall through a trap door and into a chamber that sends him back in time. But before the tachyon accumulator (i.e. time travel mechanism) activates, Weiss explains that she has been working with some of Tom's "old acquaintances," and, to his horror, intends to send him back to to endure the perils of Pangea.
