How socialist were the Nazis? What kind of socialist policies did they put in place? Would they be considered socialists today?
Also, how exactly did the Nazis manage to pull Germany out of poverty and vastly improve the standard of living of the population?

Ernst Rohm and the Strasser brothers were Socialists but Hitler killed them.

Just because they killed one kind of socialism doenst mean that they did not have any socialist elements.
Eldercare and planned costfree vacation were a thing besides the various mandatory youth organisations taking over childcare for free.
By that logic I could they they werent national or nationalistic because they were imperialistic and wanted to step over their ethnic turf permanently.

They lacked the elements that make a society socialist:
a) Consciously striving to achieve communism (replacing the 'capitalism' stage with the 'socialism' stage).
b) The abolishment of the capitalist class and workers' control over the means of production (direct, or through syndicates, or through the State etc. etc. , there are many different theories under the branch of socialism).
You'll notice that they lacked either of these.
Also, social security/welfare state etc. really doesn't have much to do with socialism. It's just a way to appease people within a capitalist framework, and give capitalism a more 'humane' face.
Well Hitler banned land speculation and rent seeking.
So it's something.

lol
even islamists want to ban them
does that make them socialists
it's an ideology not a(n administrative) policy
an ideology is a comprehensive worldview that can't be cherry-picked as easy as people would've liked
The socialism in the name is not derived from Marxism in anyway.
Mein Kampf chapter two is a critique and attack of democratic socialism.
Hitler and Goebbels had a meeting in the early party days and agreed that the socialism in the NSDAP stood for 'traditional family values'.
