Nazis

Swastika-wearing fascists

Nazis were members of the National Socialist German Workers' Party, which governed Germany from 1933 to 1945 under Adolf Hitler.

The regime pursued racial purity through genocide, killing six million Jews and millions of others in the Holocaust.

Nazi now labels anyone with fascist, white supremacist, or virulently authoritarian views: grammar nazi, soup nazi—though casual use risks trivializing historical atrocities.
