Not the same poster, but facism is, super simply put, the idea of giving the government (or the government/military just taking) supreme power over businesses and industry. Doesn't usually end too well.

NatSoc is a kind of fascism, but fascism isn't necessarily NatSoc. NatSoc is the idea of giving the government power over industry, but not interfering TOO much, unless the government wants/needs to force businesses to mass manufacture weapons or uniforms or some shit. The Socialism part comes in Hitler recognizing the appeal of Marxism at the time, and realizing that the government was not looking after the common worker citizen and their needs, so he wanted to establish a limited work week, pensions, vacation time, work seeking programs, etc. This is why the economy leading up to the war was very powerful in Germany. All this fed into the "national" part of NatSoc in that the main purpose of every aspect of life needs to feed back into the ultimate goal of strengthening the country and German race/culture.

Honestly, in theory it's not that bad. Really it's just Hitler's war mongering and insistence on the camps that really fucked up his everything.
