You are probably right about the third way/position thing, it's just that I haven't informed from english-speaking sources, so I've never been really sure of the correct translation. This might just have completly screwed up the meaning of my comment. As for the rest I don't oppose the idea that nazis are more right than left, I just say they incorporate enough ideas of the left-wing, both cultural and economic to be called a blend of the two sides.
Nazis took nothing from the left wing other than some rhetoric they used to gain popular support from the working class. Their politics were more inspired by European colonialism than anything else. Lebensraum is basically just manifest destiny applied to Europe.
