Never the right. In fact, the conservative right (the Army, the Churches, High Society)

Please read your history.

Tens of thousands of Catholic priests were murdered in concentration camps.
Hitler raised taxes on the rich and confiscated their wealth. He was all for class warfare
The army was purges of all non party (Nazi) members

You are quite wrong.

Hitler was always careful to treat the Right with kid gloves. He did NOT confiscate the wealth of the rich (unless they were Jews) or raise their taxes.

The army was not in the least purged of non-Nazis. He had to take the General Staff as he found it and put up with von Runstedts (whatever they thought of him). He would have loved to have been able to shoot all his royalist generals and replace them with Nazis but he was never in a position to do that. Hitler did not have the power Stalin did. He had to work with the existing conservative elites and treat them gently.
