No, but the actions by the Nazis in the in those films were placed within a context of why they were a larger threat to society success for them would make them even worse. And Indiana Jones preventing them from getting the object of their desire was given relevance beyond simply the adventure at hand. No, the Nazi threat wasn't explicit throughout the movies but they were implicit and gave things more weight.
While I admit that some attempt was made at accomplishing this at the beginning of Crystal Skull I feel they failed to establish it ("oh, I'm being blacklisted, I guess I'll take a train trip...le sigh") and ultimately it was just two groups of people chasing the same object.
