Explanation

This statement is false. While Konrad Heiden did use 'Nazi' as a derogatory term for Hitler's party, the claim about 'NatSocs' being the original term is incorrect - party members were typically called 'National Socialists' or 'NSDAP members' in full, not 'NatSocs' as a standard abbreviation.
