Was Nazi Germany a superpower at it's peak in WW2?

It took over almost all of Europe with the exception of USSR and England and had a powerful economy, military, and the country looked undefeatable during it's peak. Does that make it a superpower?

In its day, it seemed to be; but the collation of nations and emergence of the U.S. as "the arsenal of democracy" proved it lacking.

Nazi Germany was the most powerful military force in the world from around 1938 through 1942. From 1943 on they were no longer that elite. So if you measure the term "superpower" by relative military strength for that 5-6 year period of time and not the entire WW2 era, then the answer would be yes.

At their peak yes, and I can't even imagine what state the world would be if they had won that war.
