Sorry, I'm not sure I understood you - so ownership does or doesn't matter?
Contrary to what USA says, corporations are not people. They are just assets guided by owners.

Where would you put the line for VW post-WII assets to not count as "war business"? Would reusing factory walls to build products for the citizens count as continuing the Nazi war machine? Would another brand purchasing all VWs assets be ok?

About Ford - yes, you are right, he wasn't forced into supporting Hitler (and his wartime industry), nor playing both sides to maximise profit.
But he did try to build war machines for a country with

plan to annihilate millions of innocent people

(But was mostly outbid by actual war companies)
