Not an expert, but I find a good bit of context here is also that in the elections in 1932 and 1933, the three strongest parties were:
NSDAP: National Socialist German Workers’ Party
SPD: Social Democratic Party of Germany
KPD: Communist Party of Germany
So, it really was just popular at the time to say you were doing socialism, but they also weren’t actually fooling anyone who really wanted these politics, since two other viable and more obvious choices existed.
