It was a gamble that some lost and some won. In the 1920s and 30s, they had to contend with either placing their bets with rising socialism in the east or rising fascism in the west. They thought that they had a better chance with fascism and they were right. Many of them lost and were killed by the same maniacs they supported. Many others won and ran away with all their money and pretended that they were never part of that far right movement or just never said a word and let history forget it all. Ask any German multinational corporation that still exists today what they were doing in Germany in the 1930s and also ask what many American / British corporations, companies and banks were doing with their work with the Nazi government leading up to the war. How do you think a Germany that was sanctioned and prohibited to do anything was able to build a massive modern Army, Navy and Air Force leading up to the war.
