During the years that followed, Hitler and the Nazi movement were anything but the tools of German big business. - Richard Overy

Nazi political hegemony in the end prevented German capitalists from acting as capitalists.

The [Nazi] regime was also able to use the state-owned multi-nationals as a ‘battering ram’ for entering economies that were not occupied territory.

Göring industrial empire represented, in this sense, one of the major steps towards restricting private industrial capitalism and substituting a ‘völkisch’, state-run industrial economy.
