Morphology
The meaning 'a Nazi from Germany' is directly and compositionally derived from 'German' (connected to Germany) + 'Nazi' (a person who supports Nazi ideology), so a B1 learner who knows both words will understand it as a Nazi who is German. Although contemporary usage often implies a present-day neo‑Nazi rather than a historical Party member, that pragmatic nuance does not prevent the expression from being transparently interpretable from its parts.
Etymology
German Nazi comes from a shorter name, Nazi, which is taken from the German word Nationalsozialist 'National Socialist'. People used this short name for members of Hitler's political party, so German Nazi means someone who belonged to that party during his rule.
