Early in their mission to take over Germany, Hitler and many of his minions played at being "socialists", to get the party members to support them. It's much as many mainline (R)'s play at supporting Tea Party goals today! You might just was well present some early Hitler speeches, where he proclaimed his love of socialism, quickly abandoning them when he came to power. They were just a series of lies used to take over the existing National Socialist Party, the party Hitler targeted as being the easiest and best for rising to power.
As I said, Google the refutations. Hitler was a corporatist dictator! His corporations were entirely CAPITALIST enterprises, joined at the hip to his government. NONE of his values were socialist - just the opposite!
In pure SOCIALISM, the corporations are owned by the people. So, either you're redefining socialism, or you're LYING!
So, your revisionsit-history arguments are defeated by historical REALITY - the fate of ideologically driven lies.

"Summary
Many conservatives accuse Hitler of being a leftist, on the grounds that his party was named "National Socialist." But socialism requires worker ownership and control of the means of production. In Nazi Germany, private capitalist individuals owned the means of production, and they in turn were frequently controlled by the Nazi party and state. True socialism does not advocate such economic dictatorship -- it can only be democratic. Hitler's other political beliefs place him almost always on the far right. He advocated racism over racial tolerance, eugenics over freedom of reproduction, merit over equality, competition over cooperation, power politics and militarism over pacifism, dictatorship over democracy, capitalism over Marxism, realism over idealism, nationalism over internationalism, exclusiveness over inclusiveness, common sense over theory or science, pragmatism over principle, and even held friendly relations with the Church, even though he was an atheist.
