Does a pretty good job explaining it.

The Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP, or what we all call the Nazis) had it's roots in socialist parties and thought, but it radically departed from it early on. I'm guessing you read one of their 20's mission statements, they do sound very socialist.

National Socialism never advocated the right the individual, always the right of the state. State first, the state then rewards the good citizens.

In a nutshell:
As a political system Nazism resembled beared little if any resemblance to socialism (though I know a few anti-communists will jump in and disagree )
Economically, there are more similarities to socialism, but the system that existed cannot be accurately described as socialist. (Corporations etc.)
