IIRC Switzerland's WWII military chief Henri Guisan had some fascist inclinations and cultivated a cult of personality. Could a successful resistance / National Redoubt against a German invasion have swept him into power postwar, as a De Gaulle figure or something worse? Or would the experience of Nazi occupation have tarnished his image among the majority of Swiss who weren't included inside the Redoubt?
The problem with trying to get it to work with Switzerland is that for a true strongman he'd need to centralise powers to the Federal government, and I can't see the Redoubt Cantons (i.e. the area where he's going to have to have the most support initially) even remotely agreeing to that.
