Yeah we definitely did not.

However, I'm not sure why you're posting this here because Hitler was absolutely heavily inspired by both the genocide of the native peoples, as well as post slavery laws like Jim Crow.

The ideologies found at the root of Hitler's implementation of Lebensraum modeled that of German colonialism of the New Imperialism period as well as the American ideology of manifest destiny. Hitler had great admiration for the United States' territorial expansion and saw the destruction of Native American peoples and their cultures that took place during the United States' westward expansion as a template for German expansion.
