Switzerland is a well tested option

SVP currently holds 25% of the seats in the federal council of Switzerland. Not exactly what I'd call Nazi-free.

Worse still, they are at 27%. And they have been in this area for quite a long time, so the proportion is somewhat stable.

The last time the Nazis were in power in Germany, Switzerland closed its borders to most people trying to flee, so maybe a well tested, but still not so good option...
