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.
Okay, consider me corrected. I was referring to the groups of men who would meet very early on, when their racial theories were first developed. But I'm hardly knowledgeable about it. I working off the History Channel here. And you know what that means...

Sure, the racial element was present right at the beginning -- and really, long before that. The NaZis were the (il)logical conclusion of centuries of anti-Semitism in Europe.
