In any case, it's not really a trope that would describe the Westerlands collectively but House Lannister or Tywin in particular, and there's already a page for that.
A Nazi by other name was already removed there , Tywin can be called a war criminal, but is not a mass murderer supermacist.
Putting on the Reich is indeed potholed in the Fantasy Counterpart Culture entry, also linked to the Teutonic Knights

For the helmets? Maybe, but not so certain. The Stahlhelm has Prussian more than Nazi associations.

Perhaps. I mostly see them wearing the Uruk-Hai's helmets (Stahlhelm-esque helmet, with a crest at the top).
Also, there's the Histories & Lore video about the Westerlands. Tywin seems to imply that the other houses of the Westerlands exist merely to further the whole of the region, and House Lannister in particular.
About "A Nazi by Any Other Name" for the Westerlands, while Tywin may not have planned a genocide, he did have several Nazi traits: blonde hair, a belief in his own superiority, the "Power through Unity" quote, not to mention the Lannister soldiers themselves have helmets that more than passingly resemble Stahlhelms.
Perhaps, "Putting on the Reich" instead?
