Capitalism isn’t “free markets”, capitalism is private ownership of the means of production. The Nazi leadership were all members of the capitalist class who took direct control of the state to consolidate power and steal wealth from other capitalists and the working class. Those who were not in the in-group were “nationalized,” but control of and profit from those nationalized businesses went to loyal capitalists in the Nazi party.

Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.
