Why the Nazis were not left wing, straight from the Nazi horses' mouths.

But first, let's remind ourselves of one of their victim's own words, Lutheran pastor, national conservative and an earlier supporter of Hitler, Martin Niemöller, who was interned in Dachau..
"Our adopted term ‘Socialist’ has nothing to do with Marxian Socialism." Hitler, speaking in 1938. I can’t believe people are still making this insane argument.
"We chose the Red colour of our posters after careful and thorough reflection, in order to provoke the Left.."
"..it is a party of the Right which at the last.. is determined for its part ruthlessly seize the reins of power.."
Industrialists were an elite who had "a right to lead".
"..Since the NSDAP is fundamentally based on the principle of private property.."
