You could just as well say that in supporting the appeasement policy, Joe Kennedy was lobbying on the behalf of British PM Neville Chamberlain, not the Nazis.

The US attended the Berlin Olympics in 1936, adding legitimacy to the Third Reich. Were we all lobbying for the Nazis?

Well, all except Jesse Owens, who gave Adolf a bad headache.

Joe Kennedy's views, while ultimately proven wrong, were not uncommon in the 1930s. But I don't know of any evidence that he had any sort of relationship with Nazi Germany, financial or otherwise.
