Fascism and ethno-nationalism have always been international ideologies.
Nazism itself was partly influenced by the work of American white supremacists, eugenicists and official racist immigration policies.

Alfred Rosenberg, the influential Nazi ideologue re: race, found the term "Untermensch" in the German translation of Lothrop Stoddard's work. Stoddard was a Harvard academic and Klansman.
His racist screed ‘The Rising Tide of Color Against White World Supremacy’ (1920) of course included Spain and parts of Central and South America in its “White World.” 
When Stoddard visited Nazi Germany in 1939-'40 he personally spoke with Himmler and Hitler. He attended a Nazi eugenics court and while he approved in general he felt that they were "too conservative" in their judgements.
According to a colleague based in Germany since 1934, Stoddard was afforded special treatment by the Third Reich because his writings on racism "were featured in Nazi school textbooks."

And where did thousands of Nazi war criminals find refuge after the war? They fled via Spain to Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Brazil and many other Latin American nations. These clippings of Nazis in Colombia are from a Life magazine report in 1950.
