There are two or three of his storieswith little or no supernatural content that show very clearly he would have been an enthusiastic Nazi if he'd been in the right place and lived long enough. Even "The Call Of Cthulhu" reeks of xenophobia in the first few pages.
There wasn't anything unusual about that of course. Lindbergh and Ford are other examples and even President Harry S Truman confessed later to considering joining the KKK.
Those sort of attitudes were "normal" for the times. Read Faulkner's "Light in August" where prejudice extends to Italians who were considered to be only slighty above "niggers".
