Nazi was a shortened version of "National Socialists." When Hitler took over in 1932, he became absolute dictator--his word was law. At least in this country we have checks and balances--each of the three branches of government has only specific powers that are limited by the powers of the other branches of government. Hitler did whatever he wanted, no matter how insane.

National Socialist German Workers party was origianlly a socilist-nationalsit party made up of merchants, war veterans, waiters and others from the lower middle-classes. Hitler took over complete control after his release from prison and thereafter created the "Fuhrerprinzip" basically what he said and did was law. It differed from Fascisim in that Mussolini left the Monarchy in power, and lead through a fascisit grand council which rubberstamped his decisions until 1943 when they ousted Mussolini.
Hitler shared no power with anyone. Hitler's rule of Germany and occupied Europe barrowed elements from socialism, capitalism, and the free-enterpirse system. The common thread was Hitler's will.
It differs from the USA in that Hitler was not answerable to anyone even the law. Bush has been checked by elections, the Supreme Court and is up against a free press. So there is absolutely no connection between the two.
