In what form? After the fall of Istanbul, it could have possibly survived in the Despotate of Morea, retaken Crete, and the Kytheras (Antekythera) from Venice, and possibly revived some semblance of the Greek empire. I seriously doubt it could have survived the Ottomans, if there were Ottomans, but possibly with the Venetians as allies, Dalmatia, and similar holdings, they could have had enough of a fleet to hold the Pelepos, and the major Islands. I'd stop calling it the Byzantine Empire once they lost Byzantium, though. So, I guess I'd call them the Morean Empire.

They never would have won, because their win condition was progressively impossible. Just conquering Russia (In any season) wouldn't have been enough, their final plan was "Uber Alles." Taking over the world, and ruling it, without a coup, or anything else to end their Reich for a thousand years. Not going to happen. Not going to happen for anyone, but especially when you look at the terms of their proposed "Utopia" Racial purity, sterilizing the "Lesser" races, keeping the melanin defficient "Pure," and in power, world wide. I don't know if you noticed, or not, but blond hair, blue eyes, and pale skin isn't exactly common, in climes where the sun shines. Not to mention, their concept of "Arayan" is out of whack. It means Persian, it's also Sandskrit for basically Persian. You know the Tajiks? Do an image search for Tajik real quick. Does that look "Arayan" according to Eichmann's standards? That's how messed up their plan was, they got their "Science" from guys that can't tell the difference between Cossaks (Now Kazakhs) and Tajiks (The easternmost expanse of the Persian Empire.) Not to mention doing their "Science" behind closed doors, with fire hoses, and electrodes, not Oversight. Peer review, you know one of the underpinnings of Scientific Method? Yeah, that's to make sure people are actually doing science, instead of torturing people with fire hoses, and electrodes to prove their preconceived notions of racial purity. That's why they never could have won: Their strategy, and win conditions came right out of a fantasy land, only they waged world on the real world. Or basically, the Powell Doctrine.
