Yet said companies could be shut down in an instant if Hitler was in a mood.

Krupp, IG Farben, Bosch, Blaupunkt, Daimler-Benz, Junkers, Messerschmidt, Siemens, Volkswagen, and many others...all flourished. Hitler was a Social Darwinist when it came to the private sector. Small firms either disappeared or were swallowed up by the giants. A considerable supply of slave labour didn't hurt either.

Beautifully put, I have to say. Nazi Germany was essentially funded by big corporations, so that Hitler could create a stable political gridlock for said corporations to earn a steady flow of profits. Gee, I wonder why neoliberals don’t bring this up when they say that the Communist Party in Nazi Germany was outlawed because of “socialist infighting”
