"Star Trek" Patterns of Force (1968)

Nazi Germany Cultured Planet Ekos

Season 2, episode 21. The Enterprise in on a mission to planet Ekos in search of a missing Federation cultural observer, Professor John Gill. Ekos is known to be a warlike planet of primitive people. The Ekosians have patterned themselves into a Nazi Germany culture. When Kirk and Spock beam down they find that the Ekosian Gill is the leader and are at war with the neighboring planet Zeon. Kirk and Spock must disguise themselves as Nazis in order to put an end to war.

An episode I really enjoy due it being very much different than most episodes yet reminiscent of "A Piece of the Action" due to a historical reference to planet Earth - a sorta throw back to those time eras.

9.5/10
