The German National Railway Company, 1924–1932: Between Private and Public Enterprise
研究了1924-1932年德国国家铁路公司在赔款体制下的运营争议，探讨其应优先服务国家经济还是赚取赔款盈余，以及由此引发的政治文化冲突。
This article examines some major aspects of the history of the state-owned, privately operated German National Railway Company under the reparations regime of 1924 to 1932. It explores the dispute that erupted between the Reichsbahn and the government concerning whether the DRG should be used primarily to serve national economic and social ends or to earn a surplus to pay reparations. The controversies that erupted concerning tariffs, motor vehicle competition, and wages are examined against the background of the Reichsbahn's financial performance. The article argues that the political and cultural clashes caused by the introduction of Western management priorities and practices were more significant than the financial burdens that reparations imposed on the Reichsbahn.
