No. "National Socialism" (Nazism) is a form of fascism, an ideology implacably opposed to socialism despite its name.

No not really, but this is a very difficult question to answer accurately. The particular ideology that was practiced in Germany under Adolf Hitler was very unique. Many people will erroneously say it was "socialist" or "fascist", but it's not that simple to define. There were certainly bit elements of socialism and fascism in Nazi Germany, but those terms do not fully define what was happening there. I would call it "Hitlerism", because when you actually analyze and understand the system and ideology that Hitler espoused, it is quite unique unto itself. It was more-so a mixture of sorts, cultural-socialism/soft-socialism, soft-capitalism and some bit elements of soft-fascism, with a fervent nationalistic pride and emphasis on uniting Germanic culture, ethnicity and individuality within that entire context. When Hitler used the term "socialist", he meant it in a very different way than what it is commonly accepted to mean today. He meant it in an ethnic and nationalistic sense, not really in a strict economic sense.
