The sources support the claim's core that the Nazis aimed at a 'New Order' for Europe, but they describe the goal as German hegemony over a European bloc, not Europe becoming a superpower in its own right. The claim's 'Europe a superpower' framing is a contested reading of that record.

What we found

Contradicts. The sources frame the aim as German hegemony over Europe and world power for Germany, not Europe itself becoming a superpower, so the 'Europe a superpower' element departs from how the record describes the goal.[1][2]

Supports. The New Order (Nazism) entry describes the political order the Nazis wanted to impose on Europe, including German territorial expansion and racial reordering, which matches the 'new order' element of the claim.[3]

Supports. Nazi-era proponents proclaimed a European Federation or European Community under German political and cultural hegemony, so Europe was the intended unit of the order.[4]

Context. The claimant's passage is their own assertion and cannot corroborate the claim; the extraction otherwise tracks the passage's wording about a new order for Europe.
