The German Nazi party was called NSDAP. That party does not exist anymore. Nowadays there are two major parties in Germany that are commonly referred to as "Nazi party": the "Reps" (Republikaner, engl. Republicans) und the "NPD" (Nationale Partei Deutschland, engl. National Party Germany) "NAZI" is a German acronym that stands for "National Socialists Workers Party". It was basically a socialist overthrow of the former government, and ended up being very aggressive in their demands for change in Germany. As socialists, they wanted government control of much of the resources and businesses of Germany. There was a strong desire to penalize the wealthy and since many of the Jews in Germany had established businesses and made a good life for themselves, when Hitler wanted to rule all of Europe, it was easy to convince German citizens that the Jews were responsible for their financial problems during the 30's. Following WW1, Germany suffered greatly, in part because of the global economic depression of the 30's and also in part because of the sanctions that had been imposed on Germany following WW1 as required by the League of Nations. The NAZI party took over in Germany, mostly as a financial/political organization. Many of the NAZI's found it easy to be suspicious of anyone who was different, and turned their attention to Jews, Gypsies and Homosexuals, but that was just a convenient way to fund their war. The simple reality is, most collectivist political ideologies tend to minimize the value of the individual and as such the NAZI's found it quite easy to destroy anyone who appeared "different" (Jews, Gypsies and Homosexuals) in the name of a "greater good". Many today want to have us believe that NAZI's were an "ultra right wing" group. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth. NAZI's were so far socialist that they had no problem killing people to advance the NAZI agenda.
