That's purely rhetoric that Hitler used to gain support from the working class. That's like calling North Korea a democracy because they have Democratic in the name of their country.

Except Nazi was a party much before Hitler was even a member and was part attached to unions. The sole reason nazi and comunism fought was because both wanted to "own" the whole europe. Their agenda was so close by that they were able to have a non-agression pact for each to invade a part of Europe and both accepted for a long time before Hitler got more greedy and fool.

Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union being similar doesn't mean that Nazism and communism are similar, it means that two very authoritarian regimes are similar. Also, not long after Hitler came to power, the Nazi regime started to dismantle trade unions, which shows that it was purely a means of gaining support from the working class, once in power they almost immediately went after those who they claimed to represent:
