Nazis were socialists despite all the indoctrination to the contrary. This was discussed here:

Thanks. I have the article bookmarked for later reading. This may sound strange, but my gut feeling is that current leftists may consider the Nazis to be “right-wing” because they were organized and effective. I haven’t thought this one through, but it seems like most liberals (and I was one and one time), consider people who aren’t “nice” to be right-wingers. In other words, if a group is organized and committed enough to have uniforms and a plan and is effective in battle, they just naturally must be facists!
