      Short answer: Yes

        People were also conflating Hitler as a socialist then.

        The whole point of that was to discredit actual socialism. It wasn’t socialism to them, but a dog whistle for nationalism.

        It would have been more accurate to call that the National nationalist party.

          Hitler was a socialist… so as long you were wealthy, ayran, and loyal. Eveyone else got brutal totalitarism and capitalism while fed to a war machine to keep the lie going.
