'ICE' here means Intercity Express [0] and not internal combustion engine.

And also not the organization currently force-relocating innocent civilians to detention camps.

I wonder if the Germans will end up having to rename the train system at some point.

You know, now that I think about it there is a conspicuous absence of organizations with the initialism SS despite the letters being so common. Maybe they will!

Of what issue - the reliability of trains? It’s pretty high, db is a laughing stock.

A high speed pr stunt isn’t much interest sure.
