From one cowboy to another.
I think the answer isn’t that simple.
After WW1 the Germans were humiliated by the treaty of Versailles. Hitler tended to give the population back it’s self esteem. What they did with it was wrong.

There was a socialist contingent in the Nazis. That was the SA. The brown shirts led by Ernst Rohm. Hitler had Rohm executed and the SA’s power was replaced by the SS. The nation was still socialist it with a strong influence by crony capitalists

The people in Germany who backed the regime, especially after the sudaten land and Alsaice Lorraine were taken back as German areas gave the people a sense of pride. Before that the Nazis were a minority party.

Western Europe at the time was strongly in the socialist camp, as it is now.

Yes. Read Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn of Austria.

Woodrow Wilson and company sliced and diced Europe, and made WWII inevitable.
