Not really. The closest Nazism had to "Make Germany Great Again" was Völkism [1], an anti-modernist movement looking to resurrect not a proximate golden age but romanticised Ancient Germans.

> What's True

> A prominent theme during the Nazi Party's ascendancy was restoring Germany to its former greatness, and Adolf Hitler used the phrase "make Germany great again" upon occasion.

> What's False

> "Make Germany Great Again" was not a (campaign) slogan employed by Hitler, and Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler are far from the only politicians who promised to make their countries "great again."
