That's absurd. Mies served as the last director of the Bauhaus, at the request of his colleague and competitor Walter Gropius. In 1932, the Nazis forced the state-sponsored school to leave its campus in Dessau, and Mies moved it to an abandoned telephone factory in Berlin. In 1933, the school was raided by the Gestapo, and in July of that year, because the Nazis had made the continued operation of the school untenable, Mies and the faculty "voted" to close the Bauhaus. The Nazis deemed his style to be insufficiently "German" (meaning Aryan) in character. As a result, he was unable to receive commissions
Rohe left for USA in 1937 and began his own design works in Illinois. Settled in Chicago and became US citizen in 1944 where he did his finest works in USA including IBM, Chicago federal campus, MLK Library and LaSalle Apartments.

So true, Hitler did build a lot of brutalism architecture. This is the same when they claim Hitler & the nazis were Christians. A total lie, they taught Darwin's survival of the fittest and evolution.
