That's true nowadays. And in the Spanish Civil War the Rebublicans were supported by Socialists from around the world while the Nationalists were supported by Hitler. But Franco's party as well as Mussolini's and Hitler's started out as a Socialist party. Mussolini even was a Communist before that.
NSDAP was short for "National-Sozialistische Deutsche Arbeiter Partei"
