In Mein Kampf Hitler even said the Japanese were inferior and incapable of maintaining a civilization. Pure Nordicism.
> "If we were to divide humanity into three classes, the founders of civilization, the maintainers of civilization, and destroyers of civilization, the Aryan would be the only possible representative of the first class. He laid the foundation and built the great walls of all human creations, and only the outward shape and color are determined by the particular characteristics of the individual peoples. It is the Aryan who furnished the great building stones and plans for all human progress, and only the execution depends on the character of the various races."
> "Within a few decades the whole of Eastern Asia, for example, will call a single culture its own, however this culture is not its own creation but was built on the
foundation of Hellenistic spirit (built on Greek achievement), but it was also built with Germanic technology, just as in our own case. Only the outward form will show traits of
Asian character; the foundation is Aryan. It is not true that Japan is superimposing European technical progress on her own civilization as many people assume. Original European
science and technology have long been decorated with Japanese style. The basis of life in Japan is not the product of a purely native Japanese civilization, but it is instead built on the tremendous scientific and technical work from Europe and America, that is to say from Aryan peoples"

The Japanese internal character would gain hold again, and the present civilization would become stagnant and would sink back into the sleep that it was awakened from seven decades ago by the wave of Aryan civilization. Just as the present Japanese development and culture owes its existence to the influence of Europe and America, we can also be assured that in the distant past an outside influence, an outside culture, brought into existence the Japanese culture of that day. The best proof of this is the fact that their culture later suffered stagnation and paralysis when the influence stopped, and it remained this way until it was revived seven decades ago. This can happen to a race if the original creative racial core has been lost, or if the outside influence which supplied the stimulus and the materials for the first cultural development is removed. If it is known that a race receives and absorbs the fundamental substance of a civilization from alien races, and progress comes to a halt each time the external influence ceases, the race may indeed be called a “sustainer” of civilization, but never a “creator”."

Alfred Rosenberg in his book Myth of the 20th Century outlines his Nordicism and desire to see the "Nordic" part of Europe rule the rest:
"In order to preserve Europe, the sources of Nordic strength in Europe must be brought alive again, strengthened. This includes Germany, Scandinavia, Finland and England. Conversely, the influence of France, which in the south is already completely Mulattoised, must be halted so that it can no longer act as an advance area for the Africans. Presently, this is the case, and in increasing measure. It is necessary that the Nordic kingdoms mentioned, in addition to the United states of America, recognise the prerequisite of their own powerful existence. This would also make unnecessary an otherwise unavoidable conflict between the republic of the onward marching black white France and Nordic Germany."
As you see there he condemns southern France as "already completely Mulattoised".
In another paragraph he says:
"The Scandinavian states and Finland will be a second league. They will secure the northeast along with Great Britain and guard the west and the overseas in those places where it is necessary to do so in the interests of Nordic man."
So he sees even the Scandinavians as "second league" to the Germans.

Rosenberg declares Czechs inferior to Germans.
"From this we draw the unpleasant and distressing conclusion that something exists in the natures of the two peoples, Czech and
German, which, quite apart from political conditions, endows the latter, as opposed to the former, with a greater breadth of mind, and ensures a continuing ascendancy"

When Hitler, Rosenberg, Himmler and others used the term "Aryan," they were exclusively referring to "Nordic" Europeans and no one else. They may have slightly bent that definition at times for expediency but stuck pretty closely to it.

> But from May onwards, Goebbels’s daily press instructions unfolded a hate campaign against Poland that made it seem as if the ethnic German inhabitants of the country, and above all of Danzig, were in constant, mortal and growing danger from violence meted out to them by Poles. ‘Ethnic Germans flee from Polish terror’, screamed the headlines. ‘German houses broken into with axes - Terrorized by Poles for weeks - Hundreds of refugees are arrested by the Poles’. Poles were allegedly murdering ethnic Germans, shooting at German passers-by in Danzig, and generally threatening to make their lives unbearable. Although the Polish government’s policy towards the ethnic German minority had been considerably less liberal and tolerant than that of its Czech counterpart, these stories were grotesque exaggerations if not pure invention. For their part, the Nazis who dominated the political scene in Danzig kept up the pressure by provoking the Poles and staging incidents for the German press to exploit, such as mounting violent attacks on Polish customs officers and spreading atrocity stories when the officers defended themselves.

This interesting letter was written by the collaborationist Ukrainian Main Committee to the Nazi Governor-General of Poland, Dr. jur. Hans Frank on 25 Feb 1943. It details what the Ukrainians who worked with the Nazis wanted, and it details how Nazi policy alienated their members. Note how even the collaborators complain about Nazi mass murder, forced labor corvees and spoliation. The scan is taken from Nazi Conspiracy and Aggression, US Government Printing Office, Washington: 1946, vol. IV, pp. 79-95 (omitted material was omitted in original):

Even Rosenberg rebuked his fellow Nazis' overt anti-Slavicism, but only as an optical measure to further dupe the Ukrainians into thinking they had an ally against Stalin, when in fact their goal was the colonization of Ukraine for German exploitation.
> In mid-March Rosenberg sent Hitler a brief memorandum which, without mentioning names, was a sharp indictment of Koch’s policy. ‘ Certain personalities’ , he wrote,
have drawn the conclusion from [official policy] that they must drastically and publicly give vent wherever possible to such expressions as ‘ colonial people, who must be handled with the whip like the Negroes’ [or] ‘ Slavic peoples who must be kept as dumb as can be . . .’ It is precisely this attitude of disdain, repeatedly shown in public which has often had worse repercussions on the [population’s] willingness to co-operate than all other measures.
Finally, Rosenberg expressed concern about the loyalty of the Ukrainian population, which, he had claimed only recently, was Germany’s natural ally. Germany could think and plan whatever it wanted, his report to Hitler continued, ‘ but it is not the task of the German political representatives [on the spot] to proclaim measures which in the last analysis might drive the conquered population to despair’.

It seems that after the defeat of Stalingrad, Rosenberg, and some Army officials wanted to change the way ethnic groups were treated. Rosenberg held a meeting with some Army staff, decided to tone down the harsher treatment, and then sent Hitler a memorandum regarding this. Hitler replied to Rosenberg, saying not to meddle in Army affairs, and Hitler's reply to Army staff who took part in the meeting was to not meddle in political affairs. So Hitler, despite the losses in Stalingrad, did not change his opinion on the treatment of ethnic groups. (pages 152, 153, 154)
Rosenberg's subordinates, realizing that Ukrainian nationalists were not going to support the Nazis anymore, shifted their attention to caucuses and MOSLEMS as allies (page 155)
Koch, instead of toning down the harsher treatment, doubles down (page 156, image).

Barbarossa was about acquiring the resources and landmass necessary to make Germany a "world power" as stated in Mein Kampf many times. Then Hitler in a delusional manner compares Bolshevism to Capitalism despite his own system being much more similar to Bolshevism.
