Okay, this one might sound strange, but I'm working on a timeline so I need some advice from you guys since I'm not an expert in Greek history. My question is: How plausible would be a Greek counterpart of Nazi Germany? I know in OTL we had a fascist Greece, but how about a Nazi version? I'm thinking of a Greece with the same scale of propaganda and populism, a similar racial system and especially the megalomania as the Reich. Also this ATL Greece claims to be the the Neo Byzantine Empire and has the ultimate goal to restore it and to "rehellenize" the Balkans and Anatolia. The POD would be 1922 after the defeat against Turkey.

To cut a long story short: This "Neo Byzantium" is a Greek carbon copy of Nazi Germany. How plausible would this be in theory and in reality? Who would be suitable as a leader? Might Metaxas do the trick or do we need someone who would a similar wacko like Hitler? And might this Greece be an ally of the Axis in WW2 or will there be hostilities with Italy like in OTL?
