[Minions] are some of the minions Nazi's?

I watched the trailer for minions and the narrator said that the served the most despicable master around then they showed them throughout history. Are they Nazis, or am I over thinking things?

No, the Minions weren't Nazis.  They work for people who can be classed as despicable.

Minions apply cultural relativity in choosing a master.  By the standards of the culture that existed in Germany during WWII, Nazis weren't sufficiently despicable.  They were the heroes of their own story.  However, they weren't sitting around idle during the war.  The minions were working for a Polynesian master whose army of specially bred sharks used heat rays on their heads to keep the waters around his island clear of all military vessels, and had produced flak gulls to handle aircraft.  That's the sort of master that Minions go for.
