Putting the Third Reich and the USSR under the same umbrella of government type might be a bit broad. Nazi Germany was ruled by the NSDAP, Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei. As such, Germany was under a national socialist system, albiet ruled by a man who consolidated much of the power within his office.

As for the USSR, that was the issue of state communist dictatorship. Although you could classify both as totalitarian governments, the definition is so broad in use here and the consolidation of power into individuals such as Stalin and Hitler could also put it under autocracy.

My personal favorite is the non-partisan democracy, or a meritocracy / technocracy.
