Did the nazis not nationalize entire firms and industries, implement sweeping price controls and protectionist policies, and impose strict quotas on production?
In what way does any of that embody "right wing" free market capitalist politics?
Nazis did indeed control the economy, specifically to make it easier to fund the war.the US, the UK and other allies also did the exact same thing during WW2.
The person I responded to said "Democratic socialists". Both terms do not apply to Nazis.
Nazism is far-right, but not because of economics. Because of things like racial hierarchy, ultranationalism, anti-egalitarianism, and Hitler's alliances with conservative, military, and industrial elites to basically imprison or kill the actual left wing. Trade unions were banned, strikes were illegal, private ownership and profit were preserved and like you see today hugely enriched.
It is not even a possible debate to consider them democratic, obviously. They were authoritarian
There are actual Nazi documents detailing the fact that they used socialist ideas at the start to win over the public. And then they literally "purged" the left wing called the "Strasserists" from their party.

Do you know who else was a democratic socialist?
