Hitler was a fascist, not a socialist. The Nazi's were based off of Italy's fascists which rose as a reaction to the left (in Italy.)

Couple of good points:

[quote]3. The Germans used socialist economic policies, before retreating to a corporate cartel base. Companies like Krupp made $$$.[/quote]

[quote]Otherwise, they were fascist - 1. Saw themselves as racially/nationally superior, 2. Wanted rearmament & expansion, 3. Consolidated capital.[/quote]
