The short answer is yes the Nazis were socialists.
Prior to the purge of Rohm they were a German nationalist version of the Communists in economic policy. Rohm’s faction which included Goebbels were the “red” Browns the other side the ‘white” Browns. (You can go back to accounts of times and see them referred that way!) Hitler actually didn’t care one way or the other he just wanted power. The “Red” Browns wanted a full “social revolution” similar in idea to what the Bolsheviks did in Russia. Rohm saw his Brownshirt SA replacing the professional Wehrmacht as a sort of of “People’s Army”. Those who were adamantly opposed to such an overturning of German society were blocking Hitler and were rightly so horrified of the Communists, (Almost next door they could see what the communists had done in Russia. German had a lot of Russian exiles with stories!) They were willing to cut a political deal. (A deal with the devil it turned out!) Hitler cut a deal with the Army leadership & the anti- communist opposition. Hitler -’Back me I will help you take care of the communists’. This opposition thought they then could control Hitler and maneuver him out of power if he proved problematic. It looked at first like it was working Hitler purged Rohm & the SA leadership. (Goebbels learned where the bread was buttered & who was doing it so he got in line!). The Hitler pulled a fast one and out-maneuvered the “dealmakers”. The rest is sad history.
