Not really. In the Mein Kampf Hitler already made public his intention on fighting the USSR for living space. National-Socialism was not exactly a Nationalistic movement. Probably they should have been called National-Imperialism from a political point of view, and Capitalism of State from an economical side.
Of course, many Germans saw the Nazis as a national rebirth after WW1. But in my opinion the Nazi leadership itself deceived the German people changing their Nationalism into a German Imperialism, and it was anything but socialist, even though Hitler, Goebels and Hess played into National-socialist feelings in their speeches talking against class divisions and brotherhood, when at the same time they were doing big business with the german Industrial and financial oligarchies.
And lets not get into the minority discrimination, with was an easy shot of blaming everything on the jews and other minorities to blind the German people from the Imperialist war they were cooking.
To give you just some numbers, of the 500 000 jews in Germany 100 000 fought for Germany in WW1, which mean that every male in age went to war, and 12000 were killed, making the percentage of Jews killed for Germany higher than that of the other Germans.
