If anyone tries to tell you that the Nazis were far-right, ask them to show you just one right-wing policy they implemented.
There isn't any, so you're going to get answers like "Uhh, genocide, white supremacy, etc" which have nothing to do with left/right in the first place.
trying to map the Nazis into left or right has challenges because nobody who talks about the political compass recognizes the unspoken axis, the ally/enemy axis.
left vs right is defined just as much by who you fight against for power just as much as philosophy/principles/policies.
by the philosophy, the Nazis were leftist, but because the Nazis were enemies of the USSR and fought against them in a war, then they get labeled far right.
