Yes. The Independent State of Croatia was formed by Hitler and lead by the fascist Ustaše regime. They built several concentration camps in order to exterminate Serbs, Jews, Roma and antifascist Croats. The most infamous of them all was Jasenovac camp where at least 100.000 people died, mostly Serbs.

However, it is worth noting that the Ustaše regime was not a democratically elected government of Croatia and that most Croats joined the antifascist partisan movement against the Ustaše regime.

Former Answer:

The Nazi puppet state of Croatia was steeped extreme nationalism and in superficial (Roman Catholic) religiosity. It was characterized by a deep seated hatred of the Serbs and of course the Jews. The Croatian government of the day needed no prompting from the Nazis to commit mass murder.
