Go research yourself, you delusional Bunker-brained inbred
Republi-Nazi.

The Nazis were national socialists.

Well, that's what they called themselves, anyway.

Hitler started out as a one world
socialist, then realized that socialism would not work on a global
scale, so he added the nationalistic element.

Huh? His whole trip was racism, pure and simple. Non-nordic=bad. It
was quite simple.

Only in the eyes of unsophisticated youngsters. You are ignoring the fact
that he wasn't "Nordic" himself, nor were many of his generals.

However, when trying to control a large group of people, it is easier to
give them someone to hate, That is what nationalism is, it defines the "Us
and Them", Us=Good, Them=Bad.

Combine this with an internal enemy, and you can write your own ticket.
Hitler picked a group that was already disliked and built them up as an
evil, dangerous enemy.

To understand the motivations behind his actions you need to understand the
political and economic situation in Germany at the time he came to power.
Chronic inflation, Unemployment and shortages of everyday items. The only
people who seemed to be doing well were the jews, so there was resentment.

Incidently, the Government in the UK is currently trying the same con, to a
limited degree, using Terrorists as the outside evil, and Assylum seekers as
the internal one. Luckily, your average briton is either more sophisticated
than those berliners or more apathetic.
