Default Henry Ford was a Nazi sympathiser

Was watching a doco on SBS last night about the early years of Adolf and his rise to power.

Apparently in 1927 when he was forming the Nazi party, Henry Ford donated all profits from any Fords sold in Germany, to the party and he also sent $50,000 every year to Adolf on his birthday (for how many years it didn't say).

It's surprising there wasn't any fallout in later years against Mr Ford over this (well there may have ben but nothing was mentioned).
I bet that was one decision Henry regretted.
