If socialism never works and always keeps people in poverty why was national socialism considered an economic miracle?

Because it was a miracle. It's communism that never works.
I don't know much about politics but i don't think socialism and national socialism (nazism) have much in common
i remember discussing this with my classmates when i was 13
Socialism encompasses a number of systems, from the successful welfare state to the failed command economy. National Socialism on the other hand is not related to leftist Socialism as it rejected all of it's core principles and was not "successful" as it hid it's failures through Corporatism, slave labour, and removal of women from the workforce.

Did I slip into a Mandela Effect region where the the national socialists won World War 2? Seems like it didn't work to me if not.
If it worked then everyone would be doing it.

Learn what Socialism is and how it is applied and also research Germany 1918 onwards and the political factions and the evolution of said factions to the "Nazis" and also learn why we call them Nazis.

If I was born to wealth, what you just said would be that of a madman.

Otherwise yes, a good summary.
Who considered it an economic miracle? Weapons manufacturers?

You keep on bringing things up that are irrelevant to my point, which seems to have gone right over your head. The point being Nazism can not be used as an example of socialism's success if it was unsuccessful, regardless of whether it is socialism or not. Questioning the premises of a question is also of importance, because logic only functions if it flows from valid premises. You can not answer why a ball falls up towards the sky if you drop it, since that is not what happens.

Also nazi is abbreviated from the German nationalsozialistische.

i love it when people take nazis calling themselves socialist as legit it totally shows the political education of the average person

"i guess if the nazis said so it must be true!"
Socialism is Great, until you run out of other ppls money!! LOL
You can call it any name you would like but, It basically is the Religion of not working hard for the things in life you want and just expect other Hard workers to pay for it...."Socialism" a tool to convince ppl to be Angry that they themselves are Worthless...

Like the "neo-cons" are totally legit left-wingers, right ? Urinal cakes are legit edible, right ? NK being "the democratics republic of the people, i swear !", riiiiight ?

Truth is, politicians love to say things and promise things. That's not the words that are important, that's the actions.
If we all fed into this Socialism Pipe Dream, then there wouldn't even be a Forum here to discuss this Ancient topic...Because the Hard workers who created this Platform would be Bankrupt and begging for food just like the rest of us.

Can you give names of any Socialist countries and any well known people who are actual Socialists?
