Yes, I know. True communism is govt control and ownership of everything (and everyone). Nazi Germany was a fascist state. Fascism allows for private ownership, but maintains a total and intrusive govt control over everything and everyone. Fascism, in it's modern context, became synonymous with antisemitism; but I don't believe that definition ever evolved until after the war.
