What is the difference between Nietzsche's concept of will and the will developed by the Nazis?

True power is the blossoming of one's own potential, while the will to dominate stems from fear and inferiority.

— Osho
According to Osho, Nietzsche’s “will to power” is the inner urge to unfold one’s highest potential—non-comparative, non-competitive, concerned solely with self-blossoming. The Nazi “will” was a will to dominate, born of inferiority, seeking proof of superiority by subjugating others. True power radiates like a rose or full moon; domination betrays weakness and fear.

Nietzsche meant growing your best self, not bossing others; the Nazis twisted it into controlling people to hide insecurity.
