Originally, nationalsocialism was an ideology bred by a German workers party, uniting ideologic content from anticommunism, antisemitism, and antidemocratism, and giving harbour to followers of certain other political traditions and also occult sects, namely elites from the fallen Austrian dynasty. But the movement was already popular in Austria before Hitler, an Austrian, transplanted it to Germany, recent historic findings from archives (amongst them film footage showing the ammount of applaus in Austria before Hitler came to Germany) have shown two years ago.
In this, Nationalsocialism originally was a German-Austrian ideologic movement and tradition, comparable to that the socalled black shirts and fascism originally have been linked to a purely Italian movement. During the war, factions in other countries, from France over the Balkans to Scandinavia, also joined it, making Nationalsocialism an intereuropean thing. After the war, even in the victorious nations factions inside their poltical landscape formed up and confessed to Nationalsocialism, including Britain, America, Russia and today even Israel (!, in the main caused by Russian immigrants to Israel, if I remember correctly, but I may be wrong on that detail).
The biggest nationalsocialist community with the greatest global influence and financial power, today is in America. It has taken over the helm from post-war Germany. But Nationalsocialism is existent in varying strength in practically all Western countries, and beyond.
So while having its roots in Germany and Austria, Nationalsocialism today is a truly international thing.
