For one thing, the concept of “nation” and “state” are two different things.
But for another thing: in Mein Kampf Hitler writes of the “volkesgemeinschaft,” the “people’s community” — which was specific about the exclusion and, more to the point, need for elimination of certain groups, most notably Jews. That is what he wanted for Germany.
I wrote many many many many many pages on this!
The entire point of Hitler’s vision, of Nazism writ large, was that Germany was to be a “community” from which Jews, non-whites, and ‘subversive’ elements were stripped away and destroyed.
There was no “make Germany great again and have things run well” within the vision Hitler and the elites of the Third Reich had for Nazism that did not NECESSITATE the separation and ultimate destruction of ‘subversives.'
From Hitler’s earliest days in politics the message was, again and again, Germany has been diluted and ruined by Jews and non-whites and ‘Bolsheviks’ (who are also Jews) and those elements are destroying Germany from within, resulting in - in Hitler’s view — the loss of WW1.
The racial ideology of Nazism is THE FOUNDATION OF NAZISM. This is an excerpt from a German science textbook from 1935.
(The screenshots are from my undergraduate thesis, which was on Nazi propaganda before and after the Battle of Stalingrad, because I wrote 130 pages on this subject and APPARENTLY SOMEONE ELSE DIDN’T.)
Oh, this reminds me, part of my thesis also includes a lot of detail on how much Nazis HATED Communists, hence why the “heh heh Nazis were secret commies” bit enrages me.

(This is from an uncopyedited version of my thesis, the year is supposed to be 1935, the 38 is a footnote)
