It seems likely that flying saucers to move materiel wouldn't be a thing until all troop transports cwere converted to flying saucers. There's also the question of just how much Nith metal is available. By comic standards, it's at least as rare as the uranium isotope used in the A-bomb.

First, I was thinking of engines that combined Nith metal and something like a Gravity Rod. Nith Metal is what Hawkman used to power his gravity belt and wings. The Gravity Rod being the source of Starman's tricks, it was powered by Cosmic Rays. Thus, how much Nith Metal is needed to make a cargo streamer fly is a matter of the GM's personal taste.

Second, if Admiral King were to turn down vastly faster safer transport for no good reason, the press would howl and congress would hang him out to dry.

Centrum didn't have a WWII, but they don't particularly like Reich-5. Given those facts, access to worlds where Australia did fight the Nazis in WWII, and the fact that Centrum isn't Nazi in practice or theory; I'm inclined to doubt that Centrum has any interest in recruiting Nazi supers.

They see most of them as expendable trash, as I said, some they see as redeemable, or at least useful. Because Nazis are seen as freaking out Homeline (that's cannon by the way, Centrum sees Nazis as an easy way to make Homeliners crazy) Centrum will use Nazis. They find them disgusting but useful trash.

Given that Centrum arose from a conflict that spiraled out of control, I can't see them recruiting anything with a similar potential to go south in a big way and recruiting Nazi supers seems to fall firmly in that category, unless Centrum either has its own comparable supers or a surefire method of controlling supers. Barring that, neutralizing or eliminating Nazi supers seems more likely. If they have a surefire method of controlling some supers, supers that can't be controlled by that method will still be neutralized or eliminated.

In cannon Centrum does push final wars in worlds were it thinks panchronomics might be discovered. If Centrum benefits, they don't care to much who suffers.
