I'm tempted to revive either of the various fascism definition discussion threads from the past couple of weeks, but I wanted to bring this to your attention:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_National_People's_Party

The German National People's Party (German: Deutschnationale Volkspartei, DNVP) was a national conservative party in Germany during the time of the Weimar Republic. Before the rise of the NSDAP it was the main nationalist party in Weimar Germany composed of nationalists, reactionary monarchists, völkisch, and antisemitic elements, and supported by the Pan-German League.

And also!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stahlhelm,_Bund_der_Frontsoldaten

Although the Stalhelm was officially a non-party entity and above party politics, after 1929 it took on an anti-republican and anti-democratic character. Its goals were a German Dictatorship, the preparation of a Revanchist program, and the direction of local anti-parliamentarian action. For this reason its members distinguished themselves from the NSDAP as "German Fascists". Among their further demands were the establishment of a Greater Germanic People's Reich, struggle against Social Democracy, the "mercantilism of the Jews" and the general liberal democratic worldview, and attempted without success to place candidates favorable to the politics of a German expansion to the East.

So, um, what if Germany in the '30s was taken over by fascism.
