Always been confused by this. Were the nazis socialists or right leaning or fascists as many claim?

I know there is socialism is in the name but just because it is in the name does not make it true. I know hitler had left leaning tendencies, but it confuses me why he sided with a fascist and was so anti-communist. Could anyone shed sone light?

Not to stifle any further discussion but /u/kieslowskifan has answered this pretty comprehensively several times.
