I think Nietzche was the one who wrote about everyone having a place in society and that a leader could only lead by means of manipulation.
He was German who was opposed to anti-semitism and German Nationalism. He couldn't have been a Nazi, as he died long before WWII. Not unlike Charles Darwin with Christians, his work was probably exploited and misrepresented. (Darwin is commonly called an athiest by Christians because of his writings, when in fact, he was an avid Christian himself. )

I wouldn't call him a Nazi unless I could also call Pheidias a ditch-digger.

he was no Nazi. the Nazi read his text, thus spake Zarathustra, and decided to misinterpret him.

It is a compelling misunderstanding by those who have not looked into the issues that he expounded and practised.
