Morphology

Nazification = Nazify (transparent) = Nazi + Nazify + ation

Formed by the verb 'Nazify' + the nominalizing suffix '-ation'; the process meaning is directly derived from the verb.

Etymology

Nazification comes from Nazi, the short name for the German National Socialist party, and the ending -fication, which means 'making' or 'turning into', like in purification. So Nazification means the process of making people or institutions follow Nazi ideas.
