  1. "Nasti Germany transends economics." But not in a good way... The distinction between nationalist socialism (totalitarian Germany, Italy, Japan etc) and erstwhile communist socialisms was that the intent in the former was to preserve the existing capitalist/industrialist institutions, whereas the later abolished and gave ownership to the workers (just kidding, it went to the state). That is what that passage is trying to articulate here. Both are functionally totalitarianism, but in national socialism, a firm could notionally exit a market/industry whereas that would be a very unhealthy choice in Stalinism. So neither extreme views is really correct. They were very different takes of the same ideological bad ideas.

  2. ​ @Sphere723  "needs to be an explanation of why major German industrialists financially back the party in the 1930's." You pretty much answered it in the 2nd para. Hitler et. al. presented themselves as the better alternative than the Bolsheviks who very literally would have burned Germany Inc. down and mass executed the aristocracy and bourgeoisie. It wasn't just a fear, they were terrified of it.
