The Freedom Fighters are a lesser known super hero group in the DC Universe that was an off-shoot of JSA led by Uncle Sam. Edit
The Freedom Fighters are a team of super heroes originally organised by a mysterious figure called Uncle Sam, to help battle the Axis powers on Earth-X, a parallel world with no native super heroes.
In the summer of 1941, Uncle Sam discovered he could mentally create an Interdimensional vortex through which he could travel to Earth-X. Learning that the warring axis powers were achieving greater success on Earth-X than they were on his own earth, Uncle Sam recruited other mystery men to accompany him to Earth-x: Hourman, the Invisible Hood, Magno, Miss America, Neon the Unknown and the Red Torpedo. As uncle Sam was transporting himself and his first team of Freedom Fighters to Earth-x, MIdnight and Doll Man were inadvertantly transported to the German occupied Paris of Earth-X, where they aided the resistance. Meanwhile, Uncle Sam and his team materialised over the Pacific Ocean, where they battle Japanese war planes on their way to attack Pearl Harbour, Hawaii. Though the Freedom Fighters repelled the attack, all except Uncle Sam were killed.
In February 1942, Uncle Sam took Doll Man and Midnight back to Earth 2 where they contacted the All-Star Squadron and told them that the Japanese were about to attack California on Earth-X. The Spectre transported Uncle Sam, Doll Man and 5 volunteering squadron members (Black Condor, Human Bomb, The Ray, Phantom Lady & the Red Bee) to Earth-x where they helped fight the invasion.
While there, the Red Bee died, but Hourman turned up alive. Due to instability in the cosmic balance, three Freedom Fighters had to remain on earth - X, while the others returned to Earth 2. Uncle Sam, Black Condor and the Ray chose to stay.
Weeks later the journey of Harbinger to 1942 opened an interdimensional rift through which many other mystery men journeyed from Earth 2 to Earth-X, including Doll Man, Phantom Lady, Plastic Man, Midnight, Human Bomb, Earth -2 Blackhawks, the Jester, Manhunter, Plastic Man, Quicksilver, and the Spider. They were later joined by Firebrand.
WW2 lasted years longer on EarthX than it did on Earths 1 & 2.
