A core part of Nazism was Germany's greatness, even beyond others of the same race. They "tolerated" the British "race". So I doubt the claim that German theories about race were drawn from British and American sources unless you're talking about pro-German idealogues.

Their racial policies carried forward the ideas of American eugenics to its extreme but logical conclusion. To the extent that British were frowned upon, it was because of the presence of genetic contributions from the pre Yamnaya/Caucasian indigenous population. I remember there was a PBS American Experience: Eugenics episode that covered the Nazi party inspiration from American racial science.
