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 can also mean someone in Germany today who supports the same hateful ideas. The short name Nazi links them to the old Nationalsozialist group, so the term shows they follow those ideas.
