Arguably no more socialist than the US or Europe is today.
Also, the point of Marxian communism/socialism is the eventual complete rejection of nationalist ideologies in favor of global communism, it's the only way to pull it all off. Trotsky was big on this model: continual, worldwide revolution until there were no capitalist governments left to "subvert" communism. On the other hand, the NSDAP (and fascism in general) was incredibly nationalistic, and existed as a rejection of globalism and communism. They were some kind of hybrid. They were what is a called a 3rd position (vastly different from 3rd party) political ideology: a vaguely socialist/welfare-capitalist political/economic system in conjunction with an ethno-centric, nationalistic social system.
There's an argument to be made that it's the only way for either system to work: a state claiming to exist for the betterment of its citizens (nationalism), must directly provide for the welfare/benefit of those citizens (socialism). The difference (as claimed) is that where marxist systems work to keep the population at the baseline of the lowest common denominator (see: multiculturalism), the national socialist system works to empower its citizens to achieve their full potential; thus creating a system where a high population-percentage of high achievers see to the sustainment of a low population-percentage of low achievers, and they do so voluntarily out if a sense of familial/social obligation.
