The National-Socialists were Socialists the same way the Tories were advocates of Tori Spelling. The same way you might want to drive a DeSoto through South Dakota. They sound somewhat similar, and yet there's actually no connection there.

The Nazis were hard-line anti-communist, anti-socialist and anti-liberal. They could be described as collectivist, but only in a moral or ethical sense. They were free-marketeers all the way. There's really no way such a political philosophy could be called "leftist".
