That was my understanding of the difference - fascism was more oligarchical. A lot of industrialists made serious coin by siding with the Nazis. Whereas in communism it’s more the government apparatchiks will run the companies.

That’s my understanding too. As economic platform, fascism is halfway between Private property and communism. One can own something and do what they want with it. One can own nothing because all belongs to the State. One can own something if the State allows it, and what you can own the State tells you what you can and cannot fo with it.
If the government mandates that everyone must own this and can’t own that (maybe electric instead of gas powered cars), then the makers of the mandated product and the politicians get in bed together... corrupt politicians and oligarchs.
The Nazis limited the amount of profit a "private" company could make and would simply seize your business if you didn't do as you were told by the government.
THE big difference between the National Socialists and the State Socialists aka Commies is the State Socialists would stupidly parachute in some party bureaucrat who had no idea what he was doing to run a business while the National Socialists would keep the existing owner or manager who actually knew his business in place to run things.....so long as he made the products the government wanted made and within certain price bounds the government set.
Thus National Socialism worked a bit better because it left people in charge who had a clue of how to run things instead of some party flunkie but basically it was the same otherwise. Your "private" property in Nazi Germany or Fascist Italy wasn't really private. You had no rights the state was required to respect. They could and did seize your property (and you were lucky if that's all they did) the second you didn't do as you were told.
