Shocking twisted Nazi mag (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amazing

'shocking' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'twisted nazi mag' is the wordplay.
'twisted' indicates anagramming the letters.
'nazi'+'mag'='nazimag'
'nazimag' with letters rearranged gives 'AMAZING'.

(Other definitions for amazing that I've seen before include "Filling with wonder, a huge surprise" , "Causing wonder" , "Astonishing, wonderful" , "Astounding, awe-inspiring" , "Gobsmackingly great!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
