There was actually a socialist branch of the NaZis, led by Gregor Strasser, and mainly based in Northern Germany.
They were purged in June of 1934, as Hitler consolidated power. But they were there.

It's rather quite the reverse. They were more leftist earlier in their party history. To be sure, there were certainly early rightists such as Ludendorff et al, and the leftist strain of NaZiism never succeeded in controlling the party, but before 1927-28, they certainly had a voice in the party platform.
