Hitler pretended to be a socialist to seize control of a weak existing party, but he was in no way a socialist. Much as the neocons are not traditional conservative Republicans today.
Once in power, he rounded up socialists and sent them to the army or to the slave labor camps. He was a right wing authoritarian dictator. Stalin was a left wing authoritarian dictator.
Hitler made statements in his early days in front of socialists to play to them that are now being used by right wingnuts to "prove" he was one, but he had a different line of bull for EVERY group. Judge him by his ACTS.

" When he spoke to industrialists, Hitler concentrated on his plans to destroy communism and to reduce the power of the trade union movement. "

..."The stormtroopers also carried out terrible acts of violence against socialists and communists. In one incident in Silesia, a young member of the KPD had his eyes poked out with a billiard cue and was then stabbed to death in front of his mother. Four members of the SA were convicted of the rime. Many people were shocked when Hitler sent a letter of support for the four men and promised to do what he could to get them released."
