Iirc he had a bigger hard on for the Ancient Greeks*, but yeah.
The buildings were also meant to be designed to be good ruins as he was into the visual remainders of the classical world. So when eventually (lol) the 3rd reich fell you'd have these amazing ruins that the successive empires would look at in wonder.
*don't hold me to that tho

There is an interesting cross over between facist, communist and capitalist architecture. The tl;dr is when your aim is demonstrating power through architecture, you get similar results.
I almost wrote my dissertation on it. But stupidly fucked about too much, realising too late what a great topic it would be and instead did a very average one on nazi architecture in nazi propaganda.
Mein Kampft has a bit in it discussing the RC+ use of light and other sensory techniques in propaganda. You can make an argument that that influenced Nazis use of light and which were seen by the world at large and influenced how people have gone on to use impact lighting. Maybe.
