The origin of the wrong idea that the nazis were lefties

[Vosem]

Neo-Nazism, which has many differences from actual Nazism as it was practiced, is quite definitely far-right. Actual Nazism, like all long-extinct ideologies, does not fit neatly into our modern classifications and depending on how you draw the spectrum can quite logically be defined as left-wing. (This is all complicated by the actual Nazi Party being a party of power, for whom quite inherently matters of ideology are blurred anyway.)
