Season Overview[]

Building on Frank Frink's story arc from the first season, he becomes a full and committed member of the American Resistance in the Japanese Pacific States. As he becomes more immersed in the resistance against the Japanese Empire, Frank takes part in a terrorist bombing against the Japanese leadership in San Francisco that results in the deaths of a large number of military and government officials.

Juliana Crain flees to the Greater Nazi Reich, claiming asylum at their San Francisco embassy. The process is approved by Obergruppenführer John Smith who ends up as her sponsor and takes her to the East Coast without Joe Blake's knowledge.

Nobusuke Tagomi finds himself in an alternative San Francisco where the Nazis and Japanese lost World War II. His wife and son are still alive, and his son is even married to an alternate version of Juliana Crain. Tagomi finds that his counterpart was a drunk and died by falling off a bridge, and dislike his son's choice of bride because he believed he was becoming too "American."

Joe Blake discovers that his birth was a lie; he is not a natural-born American and is in fact a member of the Lebensborn Program and the biological son of Martin Heusmann, a high-ranking Nazi official. Joe and his father reconcile, and Heusmann is named Acting Chancellor when Adolf Hitler falls ill. After Hitler dies, Heusmann becomes the Chancellor until a successor can be chosen, with Joe acting as his second-in-command.

Hitler's death is blamed on spies from the Japanese Empire, with Heusmann publicly declaring those responsible will be brought to justice, even if that means war. John Smith is suspicious of Heusmann and interrogates Reinhard Heydrich. He learns of a grand plan to launch a nuclear assault on the Japanese Empire which would result in the destruction of Tokyo, the death of the Japanese Emperor, and the establishment of a global Nazi Reich. Trying to avert war, Smith travels to Berlin and tries to undermine the plot by informing Heinrich Himmler. Backed by evidence, Himmler arrests Heusmann and charges him with the murder of Hitler and high treason. Joe Blake is also detained. Himmler announces Heusmann's treachery to civilians and soldiers alike, dispelling the notion of war with Japan.

Buoyed by their popularity, Himmler and Smith take control of the Reich with the intent of peace with the Japanese. Living in the Greater Nazi Reich, Juliana comes face to face with her dead sister, Trudy Walker, who is possibly an alternate universe version. In a basement, Smith finds a huge store of films that Hitler has amassed over the years.
