Were Hitler's policies more liberal or more conservative? I'm pretty sure he leaned far left.

What were those rhetorics? He can't be completely down the middle with them...

He was a fascist authoritarian with megalomaniac tendencies. That's not a political party. It's a mental disease, albeit difficult to discern from American politics, mental disease it is.

High emphasis on family tradition and values, a mix of free market and state planning, a lot of social welfare programs but no labour unions. Basically anything that went with his plans of "world domination".

I wouldn't say he was split down the middle, he was somewhere at the bottom just like any person or organization with too much power will be

Hitler and the nazis were pro religion/christianity, they had a close relationship with the vatican. The catholic church saved and hid many nazis after the war from arrest and persecution.
Also to tie into Hiter's strong religious views, he was very anti abortion, anti gays, anti jew, very pro life and encouraged people to have many children (i'm sure the duggars would be hitler's wet dream ) he also was very anti smoking and drinking.
Hitler and nazism also were pro corporation, anti union, anti democracy, anti communism, anti marxism, pro nationalism, and pro fascism.
To sum it up, Hitler and nazism are far right on the political spectrum.

harborlady said it very well.

NAZI economics were pure corporate welfare dominated by the state planning for a massive military designed to dominate Europe, Russia and North Africa into a greater Germanic super state operated for the benefit of the Germanic (Prussian) financiers.

Hitler was an honored WW1 veteran with a charismatic personality that set out to avenge the near destruction of Germany and German people after WW1. He was also a complete egotistical monomaniacal tyrant with a delusional certainty in his own ability to be both Der Furher and war master at the same time. History has show, at even greater expense to the people of Germany and Europe, that he was neither.

The definition of "liberal" in politics, has a total different meaning than what liberal is defined as in the dictionary.

There is nothing liberal of the Policies of the Progressives.

not a shred of evidence for any of that, but if you are into fairytales, that's a good one.

Fact of the matter is, you'd have a very very hard time trying to justify his actions according to the Bible and Christianity. We tend to frown upon genocide.
