Yes, that was the name... but it was only a name.
"Were the Nazis socialists? No, not in any meaningful way, and certainly not after 1934. But to address this canard fully, one must begin with the birth of the party."

Some social media accounts seize on the party's proper name in arguing the Nazis, who have become synonymous with fascism and the far right, were actually socialists.

Many of these assertions plainly or implicitly disparage current-day social democratic parties and their leaders by likening them to the Nazis. Such claims have circulated online for years.

However, historians point out the Nazi Party did not embrace socialism, as it is commonly defined, in any significant sense. Once in power, the Nazis were enemies of genuine socialism and aimed to wipe out the political left.
