It is, but even Hitler wasn't the first to use it. He only was the first to be able to make use of modern media, which hadn't been around previously.
The recipe is always the same, all around the world and all through the ages. Incite hatred, attack and make sure that your audience believes to belong to some special group. Hence, outsiders are bad, since they're threatening that particular group. Nothing else is required, even more so when times are bad. And they are. The world hasn't recovered since 2008 and many people are worse off than their parents were, with hardly any hope for recovery.
