Maybe German big business didn't like the Nazis, but they sure made a lot of
money in bed with them:

"The result was a strange alliance between Hitler and I.G. Hitler despised
I.G. for its international complexion and for its unusually large number of
Jewish directors and scientists. Carl Bosch, the head of I.G. when Hitler
came to power, was the most vocal anti-Nazi in the industrial community. In
the light of succeeding events, it is ironic that the Nazis legally
stigmatized I.G. as non-Aryan in the early years of the Third Reich. But
Hitler needed I.G.'s genius and I.G. needed Hitler's support. I.G.'s first
and major task for Hitler was to free German diplomacy from the bonds that
shackled it to the oil wells and rubber groves of its enemies. How well it
succeeded its written in the history of the of the world's most violent and
mechanized war. For five and a half years, Hitler's tanks, trucks, and
planes were propelled by I.G.'s gasoline, their wheels made of I.G.'s
rubbers. Success had rendered I.G. indefensible.

"I.G.'s moral descent did not end there. Before long it joined the Nazis in
a vast forced labor program in which millions of victims from the conquered
countries were enslaved in the service of German war production. But slavery
was only a step in the dehumanization of victor and vanquished. I.G. found
itself in the role of an industrial Faust, unable and unwilling to extricate
itself from the compact it had made with Hitler to help prepare the Nazis
for war. The depth of the partnership was reached at Auschwitz, the
extermination center, where four million human beings were destroyed in
accordance with the "Final Solution of the Jewish Question," Hitler's plan
to destroy an entire people. Drawn by the almost limitless reservoir of
death camp labor, I.G. chose to build a great industrial complex at
Auschwitz for the production of synthetic rubber and oil. So enormous was
this installation that it used as much electricity as did the entire city of
Berlin. More than 25,000 camp inmates paid with their lives to construct
it."
