I'd start everything out in 1938 so my characters could focus on the Nazis as their major villains. I'd keep the core characters like Superman, Batman, Flash, Aquaman, Wonderwoman, Green Lantern and have the core villains come after the WW2 storyline was finished. Basically I'd have each character involved in the war in their own way while making major changes to their character.
Superman will be recruited by the US military at the age of 16, he'll be super-strong and invulnerable but he won't have super-speed or x-ray vision and he won't be able to control his flying ability. He's still an alien though.
Batman will be in pre-hero mode, basically Batman Begins for the entire WW2 story-arc. He'll be a well-to-do rich-boy who enlists and becomes an army sniper. This is where he will learn of his hatred for killing. Basically, he'll be just way too good at killing people and regret the ease in which he did it while everyone around him seemed to die. His comic will be a bit like Band of Brothers and focus on what key events turn him into a vigilante.
Flash will be an America scientist working with Einstein and others who accidentally becomes the Flash while trying to build a bomb.
Wonderwoman is going to be a British spy who infiltrates the Nazis and discovers by accident her magical heritage.
Aquaman will be a British sailor who learns that he was born with the ability to breathe underwater and command the creatures of the sea. Basically the first DC "mutant".
Green Lantern will be an alien sent to Earth to observe Superman, he'll eventually be killed and have to give his ring to a human. Yellow will not be a weakness.
