It is not so much an example as an instruction manual



But funnily enough Hitler used America as an example to aspire to...

“The racially pure and still unmixed German,” Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf, “has risen to become master of the American continent, and he will remain master as long as he does not fall victim to racial pollution.” The United States was “the one state,” Hitler wrote from prison, that sensibly refused immigration to “physically unhealthy elements, and simply excludes the immigration of certain races.” In his unpublished second book, Hitler again marveled at the racial hierarchy of the United States, with Nordics, English, and Germans at the top of their rightful dominion as the master race.

It's good to remember that European countries were/are no strangers to authoritarian regimes and there were/are plenty of examples for the Nazis to draw on. Today's Nazis obviously are not students
of history...
