Nazi was the short form of the name Ignaz and used to describe a foolish person, because the name was quite common in the regions where the less educated people lived. The prominent writer (((Kurt Tucholsky))) popularized its derogatory use for sympathizers of the National Socialist Party, since the pronunciation of the word fits like a glove.
As always they tried to paint any oppositions as hapless drooling fools just because they dared to reject their so called masters.
As usually not a surprise.
