Also I bet I could make the trains run on time without genocide being involved at all

I always thought the trains running on time was a "sick joke," referring to the nazi death trains, taking Jews and other undesirables to the death camps. Not about actual public transport trains.

How long do you think a journalist lives after writing “Train service suffers under incompetent management” under Chancellor Hitler?

I've always been fascinated by the S-Bahn Killer, who murdered women in Berlin from '39 to '41, and got away with it for so long because news was suppressed for morale, and authorities refused to consider that the killer might not be a Jew or other undesirable, but rather a Nazi in good standing.

Incidentally, the German equivalent of this trope is "At least the Führer built the Autobahn!" and it's surrounded by a different set of myths.

Maybe they look better in comparison to how well Deutsche Bahn does now.

A very specific subset of Nazi Germany's trains ran very very on time.

I thought that was Mussolini? Not actually a member of the Nazi party.

IIRC, "he made the trains run on time" was said about Mussolini, who took over a railway system that already worked fine when he took over the government. Fascists are good at taking credit for things they didn't do.
