Thats an awesome campaign.
One thing I'd try to do if I was running it would be to assume that
the universe is lazy, and tries to cut as many corners as possible.
Basically meaning that outside of the major effects of the spell (the
Nazis losing the war and dominating the world), other historical
events are the same. So their post-WW2 history is very similar to
ours, only darkly crack'd. Everything: Beatlemania, Hippies, Vietnam,
Yuppies, the Gulf War, Seinfeld, the Monica Lewinsky scandal, Internet
culture, South Park: they all would possess close (or as close as
possible) analogues in the other Nazi-run world. If done badly it
could look cheesy and contrived, but if done well it could combine the
familiar with the sinister.
The more the PC's found out about the real history, the more they
would find that items in their possession would revert to their 'true'
Naziworld forms. If it looked too cheesy I'd have the historical
analogues go up to only about 1960 (the time of the Nazi moon landing)
and then say the timeline diverges.
