This is just completely deranged. Hitler was probably the most rabid anti-Communist that ever existed (although some Americans today come close).
Some quotes from Mein Kampf:
"The problem of how the future of the German nation can be secured is the problem of how Marxism can be exterminated."
"The Jewish doctrine of Marxism rejects the aristocratic principle of Nature and replaces the eternal privilege of power and strength by the mass of numbers and their dead weight... It denies the value of personality in man, disputes the significance of nationality and race, and thereby withdraws from humanity the premise of its existence and its culture."
While the Nazi party used "socialist" in their name, their ideology and actions were explicitly opposed to socialism and communism. The Nazi regime banned independent labor unions and sent trade unionists to concentration camps. Hitler had tremendous support within the German capitalist class and major industrialists, who backed him precisely because he promised to crush the labor movement and destroy communism. Major industrial leaders like Gustav Krupp, Fritz Thyssen, and Friedrich Flick provided significant financial support to the Nazi party, seeing Hitler as their best defense against communism and organized labor. And of course communists were among the first groups targeted for persecution by the Nazi regime and sent to concentration camps - hardly the action of a "communist socialist guy."
