It's not at all a modern conceit. Hitler gained power with the support of the right wing parties. Von Papen, who ensured Hitler got the chancellorship was linked to Zentrum, a right wing party that was the forerunner of Germany's current right wing CDU. The only party to vote against Hitler in the Reichstag were the social democrats (because KPD had been banned).
NSDAP had an economically left, socially right opposition originally (the Strasserists), but those who hadn't been expelled already were arrested or murdered during the Night of the Long Knives.
Meanwhile Hitler was repeatedly praised by right wing commentators and papers and seen as an enemy by the left.
To spread the fiction that the Nazis we're not seen as right wing at the time is offensive, and simply not supported by the facts.
