The German Nazi (National Socialist) Party was politically fascist, which is a corporatist, racist, overwhelmingly petty bourgeois pastiche of ideologies based on the supremacy of the state over the individual, the importance of tightly centralized power and the fetishization of national myths and heroes. Socialism is multinational and working-class in character, seeking to establish a fully democratic, classless society.

Confusion between, and the conflation of, Nazis and socialists is due to the Nazi Party's name, which was in full the National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP). When Hitler joined the DAP in the early 1920s and quickly became its most prominent member and leader, the party's basic politics were not much different from those that later marked the Nazis' rise to power -- anti-Semitic, anti-socialist, anti-communist, opportunistic and wedded to violence -- but they were murky. The party was also quite small, one of dozens of right-wing populist formations at the time. By upping the nationalist ante, scapegoating national minorities and adding "socialist" to the party's name, Hitler found he was better able to attract disenchanted WWI veterans and workers left jobless during the hard economic times that followed the Treaty of Versailles. To better distinguish his party and its ethos from the more established socialist and communist entities at the time, and to reflect its intense nationalism, he also added "national" to the name.

Socialism was the Nazis' greatest threat to power. In the years before the fated election that led to Hitler becoming chancellor, the Nazis' SA brownshirts engaged in incredibly violent, sometimes deadly, attacks on socialists and communists, in addition to their favored Jewish targets. Socialists and communists were some of the first concentration camp inmates.

also the politicians that put him there to start with. They were greedy and thought that Hitler wouldn't be in power long. By the time they realised what was happening they were in jail or camps

Absolutely not! The National Socialist party's policies were almost completely opposite to those of the Communist Party. The Communists were one of their main opponents.

___

Ferocious anti-Communism was central to Nazi ideology. In fact, the immediate forerunner of the Nazi party was established specifically as an anti-Communist party in Munich in January 1919 at the time of the 'Munich Soviet'. Unfortunately, they thought that most Communists were Jews and that Communism was a Jewish ideology. A crusade against what the Nazis called 'Jewish Bolshevism' was the Nazis' first core aim.
No. The Nazis suffered over 75% of their battle deaths fighting the Soviet Union.

How did the conflict between the Jews and the Nazis begin and why?

There was no conflict, no war between the Jews and the Germans. If anything, many Jews were inclined to be pro-German. There was a completely unprovoked onslaught by the Nazis against the Jews, mainly because the Nazis regarded Jews as Communists - and Nazism saw the eradication of Communism at its key 'mission'.
