  1. United States speedrun basically. Whereas it took the USA about 200 years to colonize the West, Germany planned on colonizing the East in about 50.

  2.  @danii-wz9dh  Pretty much the same way the Americans cleared out the natives and rounded them up into reservations after a military defeat.

  3. "Some German official vaguely mentioning that they should annex Iceland" is not proof that they "would have". Similarly ,look at the countless ideas written by the leaders of the Allies about what they should do with a conquered Germany and pretty much none of them were realized.

  4. I mean it's not like ideas change over time is it ? Especially one of a scientific or academic nature like racial classifications. Common example people refer to these days is that Irish people in America weren't considered "White" for a long period of time.

  5. It's hardly "absurd" given that the German colonisation of the East was influenced by the American colonisation of the West. The so-called "forever war" was merely a predicted state of conflict between Germans and the natives similar to the conflicts between the Americans and Native Indians from 1600-1900

  6.  @chtabarddumultien6075  if you go onto wikipedia page "invasion of poland" in the talk section you'll find a link to a Turkish website explaining the history of this alleged quote and basically it comes from some random press article in 1942 and that even the Nuremberg kangaroo court rejected its use as "evidence".

  7. An interesting book to read is "Otto Wagner's Memoirs of a Confidant" particularly the chapter that recalls Hitler's conversations about the creation of a European Union and Customs Union.

  8.  @Ohlalatay13  Give that logic a 2 second thought. Moustache man considered Russian culture to be as inferior as Native American culture is to you and Anglos. Having said that he still wanted to conquer Russia for it's resources that would give Europe economic independence.

  9. Why do you synonymize Germans with their political class but not Ukrainians or Poles ?

  10.  @Ohlalatay13  Yeah and Native Americans gave the world potatoes and uh... probably some other stuff.

  11. That's pretty much what every other European empire in history did.

  12.  @guillermozalles9303  "Rome brought the rule of law to new territories, medicine, roads, architecture" You kinda missed the bit where the Romans genocided most of the inhabitants first also, right? One could say that Germany planned to bring roads, hygene and basically European civilization to the vast swathes of Eastern Europe/ Western Asia

  13.  @guillermozalles9303  Well they were planning to build roads, cities and the expansion of Europe. They weren't offering much to the natives in the same way the Americans didn't offer much to the Native Americans. Yet are you glad the America was colonized ? It's pretty funny how the same conservatives and Americophiles who say Germany was evil for wanting to colonize Russia are the same people that would also say "who can argue the colonization of America wasn't a good thing?" they argue "It's a good thing that a wasteland was turned into a multitrillion dollar civilization. Similarly had Germany successfully achieved it's goals we'd be saying "who can argue it wasn't a good thing that Germany colonized Russia, they turned a poohole into a multitrillion dollar extension of Europe?"

  14.  @DrScopey2  "The ideas to free up land for settlement and use of resources, access for transportation and to avoid confrontations." Interesting.
