Nazi is an abbreviated short term for Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (“National Socialist German Workers’ Party”). It is not an acronym; it is a phonetic spelling of the pronunciation of the first two 'syllables':Na-Ti
This short term, Nazi, is and was used more often in English rather than in German, in which the acronym NSDAP was used.
I would be interested to know from any German 1C community member with relatives who lived in Germany in the 30's and 40's if the term "Na-ti" (Nazi) was used widely, or used at all, by Germans.
Nazi Swastika is "English"
NSDAP Hakenkreuz is German
