As for the rest remember that Nazism was just one of many political organizations in what was still a largely intact Germany. Based on the description there aren't many (if any) intact nations in Europe. This means there isn't the national/cultural identify needed for something like Naziism to come into being.

Nazism was such a gonzo blending of the left and the right that it is a wonder it got any traction at all.
I'm not so sure a quantum shift would be needed in this case anyway. We just need a few culprits for a neutron bombing of a major power's capital city, with reasons why they'd be culprits and a few arguments against them. That Reich-5 is unable to reach them lends credence to them not being involved.

Any other major cross-universe players in Infinite Worlds who could pull off the bombings?


(Also, politically the spectrum is more of a square than a line, with a 'libertarian-authoritarian' civil liberties axis and a 'state controlled economy-free market economy' economic axis, with fascism and Nazism strong in the authoritarian axis but near the center of the economic axis, though leaning toward the state-controlled economy side but not as far as communism goes. Lumping everything as "left or right" is an oversimplification that breaks down fast, IMO; political theory is much more nuanced and complex than those used to two-party "us or them" systems expect.)
