I doubt this. Hitler was very successful with the economy. It's hard to imagine industrialists not supporting him.

Hitler wasn't massively successful with the economy, but had some good fortune because the economy was so bad when he came to power. He was also widely regarded as a demogogue and a real danger to private property. He spent a lot of time and energy reassuring (and lying a lot) to the industrialists to try and get their support, but they were largely not nazi supporters, they just saw him as a tool they could use to overthrow democracy. They were much more supportive of Papen.
