A mix of both.

On one hand, Hitler nationalized some stuff.

On the other hand, big corporations were favored, and had somewhat of a symbiotic relationship with the government. Hitler gets weapons, the factory owners make money. Meanwhile, small businesses and labor unions were crushed.

Therefore, Nazi economic ideology is really something which wouldn't fit well on a standard left-right axis, but would certainly be considered authoritarian.

Kinda both.

I believe in the horseshoe theory--at some point, the far left and the far right aren't all that different.
