Did the Nazis have any unique or especially effective economic policies?
score:4
Accepted answer
I wouldn't call it "unique," but Hitler adopted the "Keynesian" prescription of "pump-priming" a depressed economy through government spending. Even if it was for military spending (which to Hitler, was a form of "investment.")
This started in 1933-34, and pre-dated Keynes' 1936 tome, "A General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money." This gave Nazi Germany an economic "head start" of several years over the Allies: France, England, and America.

There was an economic wunderkind of sorts. The economist and Reichsbank president Hjamlman Schacht was an early Nazi supporter, though never a major figure in the party. He managed to stabilize Weimar inflation by issuing bonds based on shares of "land," which he claimed had an instinctive, stabilizing appeal. He was also a compelling figure with high contacts in industry and world banking. When his secretary was asked what exactly he did to stabilize the currency and partly resolve the crisis, she said: "Nothing, he just smoked cigars and talked on the phone."
