No, though in retrospect it seems that way. Hitler despised the US, thinking us "mongrels under the control of International Jewry".

Though it might interest some that the spread of Germans into Russia was "justified" by a similar "Manifest Destiny" that lead Americans to exterminate our own Native peoples. Some apologists felt that the extermination of Jews, Slavs and other "subhuman species" was analogous to the US Indian wars half a century or so earlier.
