Actually, the NAZI regime was more closely aligned with (political and economic) Fascism, where private ownership of capital is allowed, however the economy is directed by the government.

Yes, I do realize that the word "socialist" occurs in the German phrase that NAZI represents, but "just because there are kittens in the oven don't make em biscuits!"

The Soviet Union and China were communist states, with socialist economies, however China has moved towards a limited fascist economy

The Nazi party was originally strongly socialistic. This was especially the case of the SA. However, Hitler decided that the SA was dangerous and used the SS to destroy the SA. After that point in time, the destruction of capitalism was no longer pursued by the Nazi party.
