Not really. Hitler actually (if you study the theories of Aryan thinkers of the 19th and early 20th century) had a more liberal ideal of what is considered the Aryan race. His Aryan race was based on the unification of the German people on a "spiritual" level. He allied himself with the thought of Hans F K Gunther in that the German people were not fully of the Nordic Aryan race, and that the true Aryan race did not exist in those times.
But through eugenics it would be possible to create that race.
