Socialism is leftism, Nazism is not, so why were they called, and some people still call them, the National Socialists?

Democratic People's Republic of Korea aka North Korea, is not very democratic. Politicians are masters of BS and so they mask what they do and say with a veil of BS to appeal to more people. Socialism is far from extreme, it's a great middle ground between communism and capitalism, whereas nazis and other far right weirdos don't know what a middle ground is.
