The Nazis did privatization before the neoliberals did it. They weren’t free market, but they did collaborate with capitalists

No, they didn't. All industry was nationalized under the German Labour Front (a 32 million strong central organization for all industries) and the government had heavily regulated what companies could produce and sell, how to produce, what prices they could set, and even how much money they could make at any given time.

The Nazis were vehement anti-capitalists, in fact they saw it was "Jewish Propaganda" and believed that Capitalism and Marxism were two sides of the same coin created by the Jews to enslave the world.

The Nazis included nationalization in the party’s official platform but never implemented it. They did the opposite. The Nazis privatized or sold off shares and stakes in public firms and utilities like banks, rail, shipping lines and local public utilities and programs. Some of these were sold to Nazi affiliates.

You are confused. The German Labour Front was simply the state replacement for the ‘Marxist’ trade unions that Hitler cracked down on. Communists and anarchists were some of the first to be abducted and sent to camps. Their parties and newspapers were banned. Nazis burned books by Marx.

Hitler opposed Jewish capitalists and criticized capitalism but never adopted a socialist program. He always differentiated his “national socialism” from Marxian socialism, for his is supportive of private property.

The irony with Nazis being allegedly anti-capitalist is that they collaborated with eager capitalists in Germany and even America. Before Hitler’s appointment as chancellor, far-right paramilitary organizations like the SA and Freikorps were basically stooges fighting for reactionary institutions like the Kaiserreich and the bourgeois and their clubs and associations.
