They presented themselves to the masses as revolutionaries who would bypass the usual deliberations and get things done.
Ideologically, they were machiavellians who would say whatever they needed to in order to win popularity, not too different from populists elsewhere. This means that sometimes the Nazis appealed to some form of Christianity, while other times they said the opposite – they'd say whatever they thought would make them popular with whatever audience they were talking to at the moment.
In terms of where the actual "loyalties" of the party leaders (such as Hitler) lay, they were radical in that sense as well, and definitely not conservative or traditionalist. This is mainly because the Nazi party in the 1920s and 1930s was actually funded by Zionists. The Zionists in that time period had a political goal of financing the migration of self-identified Jews to Palestine. Hence, you see the Haavara Agreement being signed, where from 1933 to 1938, Germany literally paid people who identified as Jews to migrate to Palestine. It was paid for by the German government. Thus, you could argue that the true ideology of the original Nazis was Zionism, and is actually hardly different from Zionists today. Modern Israelis have washed their hands of Nazi Germany, however, after having used them as a puppet to persecute the communists who refused to leave Europe during the Haavara agreement years of 1933-1938.
