That's where a lot of it initially came from. Like, the proto-Nazis basically invented the modern conception of Vikings back in the late 1800s. And Vikings went most places white Europeans did so any can claim them. Part of the reason they've stuck with it might be vikings having an acceptably modern aesthetic. Men wore trousers, women wore dresses. Go too far in either direction you've got men wearing dresses again. But a lot of it just htat when Euros needed to make up a past for themselves so they could pretend that nation states were real the Nazis and English and Scandanavians all kind of picked "vikings" to be their thing so there's a lot of lore and stuff b ehind it.
Oh part of it is also that fash thing that "vikings" weren't Christian (read Jewish) and that pre-Christian norse paganism was a cool good manly religion unlike soft Jewish bad Christianity, so that's a big factor in it. You see plenty of htem fixate on the Crusades, Teutonic Knights, or Charlemagne, or Rome, or whatever.
Honestly it's mostly just incoherent tosh. I imagine a lot of them just imprint on to whatever their first fascist fake history youtube channel is and go from there.
