Negative, the Nazis came for trade unionists first. Quite the opposite of what a socialist party would do.

While the bolshevists coopted the unions and turned them into agents of the Party, corrupting them from representative bodies into people spying on the working class for disloyalty

Buddy, I'm an Anarchist, I don't praise the Bolshevists. I have my critiques of them too but I'm not gonna sit here and say the Nazis were Socialists because they have "socialist" in their name. "Baby oil" doesn't actually have babies in it.
