Is there any professor of history, political science and other similar subjects in a university in Germany or Austria who thinks that the national socialism was a left-wing ideology?

I believe that the myth of the leftist nazism was born in the English speaking world through think thanks created by Mises's fans.

I remember seeing a BVP (Bavarian People's Party) pamphlet from the Weimar Republic some years ago that argued that a good patriotic Christian should never vote NSDAP because it was a left-wing/socialist party. Hence the myth is almost as old as the Nazis, although in this case the idea was that the Nazis were bad because they were left-wing and not that the left-wing was bad because the Nazis were left-wing.

[...] But the fascists forgot these "socialist" views on the economy when they came to power in 1922. [...]
Maybe this is nitpicking, but the fascist rise to power and the phase directly preceding it are directly linked to a reaction against socialism and social movements.
