A lot of folks from the US seem to think the Nazis were socialists, because they called themselves “nationalist socialists” and well, by US standards, the Nazis were rather socialistic, too.
But the other big parties at the time were:
The “center” party, basically Christian/conservative (Z / BVP)
The communist party (KPD)
The socialist party (SPD)
So, yeah. You did not vote for the nationalist socialist party, because you wanted socialist politics.
