A Nazi is a member of the National Socialist Party in the years of 1929-1945 plus all those that were sympathisers/supporters/informants.

The number of members increased heavily from 1933 onwards because in the Dictatorship under Adolf Hitler, members got preferential treatment and many professions you could not get into if you were not a member.

Therefore some of the people in the Army/Navy/Airforce were Nazis, but not all, many bureaucrats and mayors, were Nazis, many teachers, entrepreneurs etc.

The general membership of the Nazi Party, known as the Parteimitglieder, mainly consisted of the urban and rural lower middle classes. 7% belonged to the upper class, another 7% were peasants, 35% were industrial workers and 51% were what can be described as middle class.

When it came to power in 1933, the Nazi Party had over 2 million members. Once in power, it attracted many more members and by the time of its dissolution it had 8.5 million members. Many of these were nominal members who joined for careerist reasons,but the party had an active membership of at least a million, including virtually all the holders of senior positions in the national government.

How are Nazis and Jews alike?

Nazis and Jews are not alike in any way. Those people who say or believe that Nazis and Jews are alike are not only wrong, they are intolerant and bigoted. Nazis, the followers of Adolph Hitler, discriminated against Jews, and murdered or tortured many Jews in the Holocaust. Ask any Holocaust survivor, and they will tell you how the Nazis harmed the Jews. They will also tell you that Jews are not Nazis, and are not like the Nazis in any way.
