Oddly Hitler and the Nazis never got any more than about 33% of the votes and bullied his way into the drivers' seat. The brown shirts were certainly not socialists. The SA became the SS and they were as right wing as you can get.
Pure bull. The socialists hated Hitler and he them. He arrested as many as he could and put them in Dachau. Hitler was shall we say guided by the fat cats especially Krupp who built the plans to rearm German for his own profits. Lets take an interesting example, the Tiger Tank. When the german Army was faced with the T-34 they needed a better tank and Krupp said they would do it even though the Henschel Tiger was a superior design. It was OK I guess but the design for the Krupp tank had only a 642 horsepower engine and Henschel upgraded it to 68 plus 14. Krupp also got a piece of the King Tiger action too but fielded an inferier version. Then he told Hitler he needed a huge tank and Hitler said yes and millions were wasted from 1941 on for the MAUS. Then we have Krupp interfering with the Pather which resulted in a reduction of ammo to 56 rounds from the normal 103. The Army resisted that one.
If you look carefully at so many of the dumb butt decisions made by Hitler you find out that they came from the millionaires that pulled the puppets' strings. Then you add the fact that some of the industries were partially owned by people Like Goering. Goering wanted to own Heinkel and threw Ernst Heinkel into Dachau until he sold him his stock in the company. Because it was a high profit item the new head man (the rowtund Reichsfuhrer) kept the HE-111 in production years after it was no longer needed and obsolete.
I could go on and on. the Nazis were Fascists not socialists.
