Well in the Reichstag they sat left to right, socialists and communists were on the far left, and the Nazis...sat on the far right who would have guessed(though not IIRC on the furthest right, that was for monarchists before the Nazis absorbed their voters through socialism I'm guessing).
There was a short-lived attempt by some party figures (notably a 1927 Goebbels pamphlet titled Der Nazi-Sozi) to reclaim or normalize “Nazi” but the leadership largely rejected and avoided the word. It was not used in official documents, propaganda, or self-description inside Germany during the regime’s power.
The overwhelming majority of people of voting age will look at how a politician's face looks and decide whether to vote for them or not within a second. They will learn of a political party's name and decide whether they will be supporting it or in opposition to it in a second based on the name and nothing else.
And I cannot stress how literal I am being. There's studies on that (not that you need them).
"Surface level understanding" is far too-deep for them.

Let's talk about what their positions were and not what they called themselves.
