Actually, Hitler tried a few things on the left (hell, he even tried runeology), which is where the confusion lies. It's only when you look at what he carried out that you realize he was indeed on the far-right.
Think of it this way: he likely used left orientation to lure people into his trap. But we all should know what he was ultimately: a far-right extremist. He was simply resourceful and willing to try anything to gain power.
