No, they weren't you blithering ******* idiot.
Mussolini was a Fascist. Franco was a Fascist (Partito Nazionale Fascista).
While there certainly were Fascists in Germany, they weren't in the National Socialist German Workers Party. At least, not for long.
At no time, in no place did any National Socialist ever refer to himself or his movement as 'Fascist'. Because they weren't
If you'd watch the greatest propaganda film ever made. "Triumph of The Will" (Triumph des Willens) you will not hear the word 'Fascism' uttered one time.
It is the cartoon-caricature left, the party with idiots that can not think without the Disgusting Filth In The Lame Stream Media telling them how, that is totally ignorant of history.
This includes you.
While National Socialism and Fascism had certain things in common, they had even more differences.
But you wouldn't know that because you're ignorant. uneducated and stupid.
Do some reading. If you want something to start with, try Draper's "The Two Souls Of Socialism". It is well done.

But you won't. And that's why you're stupid. You enjoy being stupid because, the truth is -- It's easy. It's why the vast majority of dimocrap scum are stupid and uneducated..... It's just so much easier than thinking for yourself
And, OBTW, Draper was a hard-core socialist
Unedcated would seem to be you.
You and your ilk need to drop the ignorance.
National Socialism (
German:
Nationalsozialismus), more commonly known as
Nazism (
/ˈnɑːtsiɪzəm, ˈnæt-/),
[1] is the
ideology and practices associated with the
Nazi Party – officially the National Socialist German Workers' Party (
Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP) – in
Nazi Germany, and of other
far-right groups with similar aims.
Nazism is a form of
fascism and showed that ideology's disdain for
liberal democracy and the
parliamentary system, but also incorporated fervent
antisemitism,
scientific racism, and
eugenics into its creed. Its extreme
nationalism came from
Pan-Germanismand the
Völkisch movement prominent in the
German nationalism of the time, and it was strongly influenced by the
anti-CommunistFreikorps paramilitary groups that emerged after Germany's defeat in
World War I, from which came the party's "cult of violence" which was "at the heart of the movement."
[2]
Nazism subscribed to theories of
racial hierarchy and
Social Darwinism, identifying the Germans as a part of what the Nazis regarded as an
Aryan or
Nordic master race.
[3] It aimed to overcome social divisions and create a German homogeneous society based on racial purity which represented a people's community (
Volksgemeinschaft). The Nazis aimed to unite all Germans living in historically German territory, as well as gain additional lands for German expansion under the doctrine of
Lebensraum and exclude those who they deemed either community aliens or "inferior" races.
The term "National Socialism" arose out of attempts to create a nationalist redefinition of "socialism", as an alternative to both
international socialism and
free market capitalism. Nazism rejected the
Marxist concept of
class conflict, opposed
cosmopolitaninternationalism, and sought to convince all parts of the new German society to subordinate their personal interests to the "
common good", accepting political interests as the main priority of economic organization.
[4]
The Nazi Party's precursor, the Pan-German nationalist and antisemitic
German Workers' Party, was founded on 5 January 1919. By the early 1920s the party was renamed the National Socialist German Workers' Party – to attract workers away from left-wing parties such as the
Social Democrats (SPD) and the
Communists (KPD) – and
Adolf Hitler assumed control of the organization. The
National Socialist Program or "25 Points" was adopted in 1920 and called for a united
Greater Germany that would deny citizenship to
Jews or those of Jewish descent, while also supporting land reform and the
nationalization of some industries. In
Mein Kampf ("My Struggle"; 1924–1925), Hitler outlined the anti-Semitism and anti-Communism at the heart of his political philosophy, as well as his disdain for
representative democracy and his belief in Germany's right to territorial expansion.
