Can anyone show me a reference to Nazis being left wing dating to before 1980?

I'm afraid you can't be shown any reference to Nazism holding left wing ideologies mainly because there are none to find.

However, we can look at Nazi actions in relation to those who did hold left wing/liberal views at the time to give an idea of where their political stance was situated. For example, who were the first groups to be sent to work/concentration camps, such as Dachau, in the 1930's, shortly after Hitler's election? Jews? Gypsies? Homosexuals? The Disabled? Jehovah's Witnesses? Nope. It was those belonging to trade unions, Social Democrats, socialist leaders who had objected to the Nazi rise to power and, of course, German communists.

I do enjoy those who claim the Nazis were "left wing" just because they had the words "national socialist" in their name. On that basis these people must also believe that North Korea is the world's greatest example of democracy and liberty considering it is named the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

the Nazis have no connection to either wing of politics in the US

Hitler himself denied he was either left wing or right wing. He suggested something in between. It probably doesn't mean much, but there you have it.

It doesn't really make sense to compare Hitler to any mainstream American political forces today. Both the Republicans and Democrats have what Hitler would have considered Liberal politics. And Hitler hated liberalism.

You guys keep getting this right-wing, left-wing thing wrong. Nazi stands for National Socialists. They are left wing. Do your homework, please.

Nope. There is no footage on that. Maybe because its not there.

For example here are 2 people both evil genocidal dictators one of them is

MAO: He was left Wing

Hitler: Right Wing

let there be no confusion

Yea....hitler was a art major....this is not a common conservative traits to study for a degree that is useless!

I believe Hitler talked of "fundamental change" also.....

how about their name

national socialist
