The premise that National Socialism resulted in the "barring all class struggle" is off the mark. One could still achieve wealth and fame from his own effort in Nazi Germany. In fact, Hitler stated "“I absolutely insist on protecting private property ... we must encourage private initiative”

Hitler was against internationalism, be cause he asserted the Jewish bankers controlled the financing of the same.

Are you sure this is not Hitler adopting a capitalist policy simply to garner votes and support, as he did for the pro-labor movement?

Not to mention, the Nazi party platform was against private industry. See Points 13, 14, and 25.

“In fact, Hitler stated ““I absolutely insist on protecting private property ... we must encourage private initiative””

In name only. Actually, it was pure socialism, with nominal private ownership:
