I've read one of Evola's books, the man was absolutely nuts with the esoteric bullshit. He would be gaming as much if not more than Goebbels.

Ok then. Well, who could be a potential pitch for Goebbels’ liking then of not Evola? And what would Evola have been up to as well?
Sorry for taking so long to respond (was suddenly busy with something), but yeah, though op confirmed it won’t happen, one can’t help but wonder how crazy it could’ve been with him. It would’ve made Italy look like it had one of the weirdest and extreme identity crises of the 20th century, up there with the rest of Europe, Russia and China.
Although since it’s been, again (thankfully for Italy’s sake) confirmed that he won’t run Italy any time soon, I still wonder what he might’ve done in this timeline, probably worked as a propagandist for the regime who knows. I wonder if he might make an appearance on the next chapter since it tackles Italy also.

Led the Polish government in exile and helped organize exiled polish communities in Britain and the US. Furthermore, he kept close contact with the Home Army, although the organization was crippled in the 1945 crackdown following Göring's death by Polish Partisans (supposedly at least, his death is shrouded in mystery).
During the Ural War, despite being in his late 70s, he went to Russia to shore up the recruitment of Polish volunteer divisions from the millions who either fled or were expelled to the east. Polish divisions fought alongside other Eastern European exiles in halting the Nazi War machine from capturing West Russia and crossing the Ural Mountains. He also advised the Russian High Command militarily. Following the end of the war, he retired from his leadership of the exile government for a new generation to come in, but even if he's 80, the man would jump at the first chance to grab a gun if the Germans came knocking.
So while it's overall still a tragic story, at least he shows that despite the loss of Poland, the Polish people will fight on alongside so many others who lost everything to the Nazis. I would say only the Jews can really match the tenacity that the peoples living in the Russian Empire's territory has now when it comes to facing Germania.
Poland is not yet lost, as long as the Polish people still live, even if the Nazis may have wiped them out in their homeland.
I really really REALLY hope Polish as a language doesn't go extinct. It'd be really easy for the diaspora in the UK and US to switch to English and for the refugees in Russia to switch to Russian. I'm sure there'd be some effort to preserve the language of the occupied motherland, though.
I'm sure polish cultural organizations in the US and UK would try to make sure the polish language doesn't die in the diaspora. The Polish diaspora speaking polish and honoring their polish culture will be the best way to resist Nazi oppression.
I really hope that the same can be said for the Algerian and Moroccan diaspora that fled, now with the fact that they probably going to tragically slowly almost fizzle out in their homelands due to mass sterilisations and possible use in slave labour a la Eastern Europe style. I can see a lot of them who moved to Fred France being probably the most determined, alongside the fled French diaspora there, to get back at the Nazis and their french puppets.
Edit: Same as well for the Romani diaspora, hopefully they’ll resist the Nazis with some vengeance later on as well.

Not to sound dumb but are you talking about Poles or Algerians and Moroccans?
I was talking more about the Polish diaspora in the Anglosphere and Russia. One interesting idea I had with the latter is the establishment of new ethnic homelands for refugee groups in Siberia. Something like the Jewish Autonomous Oblast of OTL but for the Poles and Balts.
Alright, one last thing to add to all of this: Imagine a Bond-esqe secret non-state organisation comprised of a multi-ethnic coalition of jews, slavs, romanis, moroccans, algerians, political exiles or fugitives from all the Linz Pakt nations and other ethnic groups or type of people like fled christians that the Linz Pakt has screwed over that works on it’s own to undermine and dismantle the work of the Linz Pakt, both abroad and in Europe itself.
Edit: Should’ve made it clear that this was a funny idea and not an actual serious suggestion.

I mean the problem is that at some point it's just easier to assimilate than try to keep your language alive. Most minorities who did keep their culture/language did so because the people did not want them and so the remained separated and that only went so far considering how most Jews have little in common to their previous separation.
Yeah man that is not going to happen especially since all of those groups had it better in OTL and nothing like that occurred. At best you are going to end up like most other groups who were forced out of their homeland and stuck immigrating to another country.
On that note, they could become an ATL bizarro-counterpart to the various emigre groups from Eastern Europe in the Cold War at best.
While I can see some ethnic homelands they will at best be like OTL Native American reservations. No state wants to lose territory and considering how badly the Russians have it they would likely push for pan-slavism rather than give the Poles anything. Really giving them land is just going to piss off the Central Asians so asking for something will be ignored.
