Imagine the conditions under which some European country, save Spain and Portugal of course, remains or turn fascist even after the Allied victory.
Major conditions:
1. No POD earlier than the Operation Torch.
2. No major divergence from OTL in the course of the war itself (the Allies DO land in Normandy in mid-44, the Germans are NOT successfull in their Ardennes counter-offensive etc.)
Bonus if a non-fascist nation turns fascist.
My bet: Vichy France joins the allies in 1942 (Petain leaves for Algeria, Darlan isn't assassinated, De Gaulle doesn't manage to replace Giraud, who, btw, has left intact much of the Vichy policies including the anti-Semitic legislation and cult of Petain).
Is this perspective plausible enough? Any suggestions?
