The Nazis' (short for National Socialist Party) were the leading political party in Germany through the 1930's, through which Adolf Hitler gained favour and power. They kept power until Germany lost WWII (not at the hands of the Americans by the way, the Russians were the first ones into Berlin, the Americans played little part in the taking of Germany).
They managed to get elected into power through tricking the German public into believing that Jews were the cause of all the problems incurred after WWI and through the 'removal' of anyone who stood in their way.
People may call Nazis gay- that is completely incorrect. They were homophobic, racist, facist order who believed that that the Earth was for a single perfect race- the Ayrians (sp.)- and that anyone who did not belong to this race was sub-human and treated as such. They were christians, and Hitler believed that the Ayrians were the race favoured by God and so they could not fail in their attempts to control the world.
Ignoramus: The nazis were all homos.
Intellectual: Actually, they believed homosexuality was wrong and you could be killed if it were proven that you were gay.
Ignoramus: Oh who cares they were all fucking jews!
Intellectual: Funny you should say that, because that's where you're wrong again...

Nazi comes from the German word for National Socialist (Nationalsozialistische). A Nazi is a person who believes in the ideologies and practices of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei), abbreviated NSDAP, a racialist (belief that one race is superior to others), totalitarian (government having absolute and centralized control) political party in Germany between 1919 and 1945. It was known as the German Workers' Party (DAP) before the name was changed in 1920.
While Nazism incorporated elements from both left and right-wing politics, the Nazis formed most of their alliances on the right. The Nazis were one of several historical groups that used the term National Socialism to describe themselves, and in the 1920s they became the largest such group.
Among the key elements of Nazism were anti-parliamentarism, Pan-Germanism (a political movement aiming for unity of the German-speaking peoples of Europe), racism,
Nazi eugenics were Nazi Germany's racially-based social policies that placed the improvement of the race through eugenics at the center of their concerns and targeted those humans they identified as "life unworthy of life" (Lebensunwertes Leben), including but not limited to the criminal, degenerate, dissident, feeble-minded, homosexual, idle, insane, religious, and weak, for elimination from the chain of heredity.

The swastika has come to represent the Nazis because of it's use on the Nazi flag. The Nazi flag, created by Hitler, has a red background, and a white circle with a black right-facing swastika in the middle. But the swastika predates the Nazis. The earliest consistent use of swastika motifs on record date back to the Stone Age. The swastika has been used as a religious symbol in many different religions. The word swastika comes from a Sanskrit word (svastika) meaning any lucky or auspicious object, and in particular a mark made on persons and things to denote good luck. Although, because of it's association with the Nazis, public showing of the swastika and other Nazi symbols, in Germany, is illegal, except for scholarly or religious reasons.
