“National SOCIALIST German Workers Party”
The term “socialist” was just a sop for support from left leaning Germans. Hitler loathed socialism/bolshevism. The whole NAZI movement was propelled by post WW 1 antipathy toward the leftist/socialist/marxists running the Weimar government.
Prussian Socialism predates, and has nothing to do with Marx, who appropriated the term.
Uh...no...
Hitler believed in GERMAN socialism. It was his view that socialism would be different in different countries.
What we call socialism and what Hitler considered socialism are different. He would have called ours American Socialism, which is different from British Socialism or French Socialism.
Much, but not all, of the difference was the level of nationalism and the pride in their heritage. Where American Socialism seems to reject traditional American values, Germany embraced their past and their sense of Volk.
Nazis would have proudly told you they were socialist and in the next breath expound on their hatred of communism.
