No, the Nazis were a left-wing ideology. Their belief was that the state controlled everything, including social views, and religious ones. While it is true that the Nazis, once in power, arrested other socialists or communists, it was because they opposed the Nazi party ideology and not because fascism was right-wing and they were left-wing.

The Nazis were known as the national Socialist party of Germany. The very word Socialist implies and infers left-wing ideology.

They were w right wing party. Though they did have the word socalist in their name but they were far from socalist or left wing. all their policies and actions point to an extreme right wing party.

The Nazis were primarily right-wing. Nationalism and fascism are right-wing ideologies.

Hitler executed homosexuals and banned their organizations, made abortion punishable by death, outlawed atheist groups, using their halls to promote church, and executed people for being leftist.

While the word "Nazi" is short for "national socialist", and socialism is a left-wing ideology, they weren't at all socialist in practice. In fact, after passing the Enabling Act of 1933, the Nazis went around door-to-door, arresting and imprisoning socialists, communists, union leaders, and other left-wingers. The Dachau concentration camp was the first concentration camp to open, and was originally dedicated to communists, socialists, and other "enemies of the state".
