Hitler split from the socialists in 1926. In 1933 he purged the German government of Socialists, Communists, Jews and Democrats.
You don't know anything about modern European history.
Actually, it was a little different than that.
Before the name change, the Nazis were known as the "German Worker's Party". But at the time, about half the parties were calling themselves socialist and the other half Nationalist, so "National Socialist German Worker's Party" was more a marketing ploy than an adherence to Socialism. As an aside, Hitler hated the name change, but other party members talked him into it.
