Where does this myth that 1930s-40s fascists were hyper-efficient arise from? They made many catastrophic errors in domestic policy, not to mention warfare. Do we keep repeating the idea that they were efficient solely because they excelled at using industrial tools for genocide?

Also, Hitler was not a creature of bureaucracy. He loathed the mundane tasks and duties of governing, particularly paperwork. The result was not infrequently paralysis.

That statement basically sums everything we learned studying the rise, while I was at school. IIRC a lot of things ended up just happening, without any planning or efficiency. Personally the only efficiency I remember was the Germans as a racial stereotype, not Nazis

It should be pointed out that certain parts of the Nazi government were indeed very efficient. The Gestapo, for instance. The military, as well. However, huge swaths of the government were not because different leaders were basically put into competition for Hitler's favor.
