The Nazis were, according to Hitler in the provided link:

When asked[when?] whether he supported the "bourgeois right-wing", Hitler claimed that Nazism was not exclusively for any class and he also indicated that it favoured neither the left nor the right, but preserved "pure" elements from both "camps" by stating: "From the camp of bourgeois tradition, it takes national resolve, and from the materialism of the Marxist dogma, living, creative Socialism".

So, leftist socialism with resolve.

Wrong....learn a little history, that was a name and the Con Hitler used to gain power, not their ideology or where Nazis stood on the political spectrum. Hitler HATED Communists (he murdered 20 million of them) and socialists.

National Socialism (German: Nationalsozialismus), more commonly known as Nazism (/ˈnɑːtsi.ɪzəm, ˈnæt-/),[1] is the ideology and set of practices associated with the 20th-century German Nazi Party in Nazi Germany and of other far-right groups. Usually characterized as a form of fascism that incorporates scientific racism and antisemitism, Nazism's development was influenced by German nationalism (especially Pan-Germanism), the Völkisch movement, and the anti-Communist Freikorps paramilitary groups that emerged during the Weimar Republic after Germany's defeat in the First World War.

I majored in History and I studied both world wars extensively. I trust my first hand knowledge from years of research and countless assignments over a user submitted "Wikipedia" article. They campaigned on a right wing socialist platform promoting "Germany first". Because of Germany's out of control inflation and failing economy due to the restrictions in place from the first world war the people quickly bought into Hitlers invigorating speeches. After achieving a victory in the 1933 election Hitler quickly created the Gestapo and the StormTroppers (SA/SS) and had all opposition leaders executed or arrested. He then created the "Enabling Act" to finalize his totalitarian dictatorship over the German people.

So he was a Socialistic Fascist. Nothing remotely close to a Conservative.
