So while there was a concerning amount of support for Nazi Germany in America and the El Paso "fumagation" practice applied to Mexican migrants entering the country was a direct inspiration for Nazi extermination camps I'm not aware of any other direct inspiration that Nazi's took from the United States specifically.
I wish I had the information at my finger tips but the Nazis took a lot of inspiration from eugenics in the USA and Jim Crow laws.
Y'know what now that you say that it did jog some memories of stuff I've read about so you're right, they did pull some inspiration from the US for some of their eugenic and expansionist policies
Yup, for a long time the USA has been a fascist state to PoC.
