I've seen so many documentaries and read so many books on WWII that I'm not 100 percent sure where I read about executions of capitalists in Germany, but I believe that it was at the Holocaust Museum in D.C. where I saw the pictures and the captions stating that when Hitler first came to power in 1933, he ordered those whom opposed him and whom he thought might be trouble to be sent to work camps and many of them were shot -- the caption read "ministers, priests, and capitalists." No specific names that I can recall, just pictures of them in the work camp.

Hitler arrested and executed anyone that might pose a threat to his regime. He did not execute some capitalists because they owned the means of production. He executed them because they would not accept his government. Those capitalists willing to play ball and help the war effort enjoyed the support of the Nazis, including slave labor.
