One simple thing: Hitler wasn't a collectivist.
To Simplify:
The Russian experiment with Communism (in the flavour of Lenin/Stalinism) was about collectivizing all industry and agriculture (with a good helping of leader worship, purges, etc.).
The German experiment with Fascism (in the flavour of Nazism) was about consolidating political power in the hands of a supreme leader. Free enterprise was still active and many individuals profited greatly through public funds as well as trade. Capitalism flourished under Hitler.
There are more distinctions to be made but this is probably the easiest and most relevant to the current climate's issues.
