Nietzsche didn't live at the time when Hitler rose to public so he didn't have a change to comment Hitler's actions. It is although well-known that Nietzsche was strongly against Anti-Semitism and Pan-Germanism, two main principles of the Nazi ideology, so there is a high change he would have opposed Hitler. If Nietzsche wouldn't have been against Hitler, he would have opposed at least the Nazis, who meet Nietzsche's definition of "herd" (a group of "slaves" who can't become "masters" themselves).

There is no doubt that Hitler and many of his fellow Nazi's found a hero in Nietzsche. The philosophers preference for wars is clear. Hitler was a frequent visitor to the Nietzsche museum and was an avid reader of the German philosopher. In particular, Nietzsche's hope for a coming "elite" to rule the world fit nicely in Hitler's ideas. Now, as to what would Nietzsche would think of much of Hitler's politics of war, we do not know. As for anti-semitism, many Europeans had that in their bones, most prominently Martin Luther.

But, if there were no such people as Jews, it would not have changed Hitler's views of world conquest.
