Hitler used the example of American expansion westward to frame his Eastern expansion.

"A superior settler population would displace an inferior native population opening the way towards a new era of economic possibility"

When Barbarossa started, the German leadership believed the Soviets were "weak and incompetent". A far-cry from the narrative that the Germans truly feared a Soviet invasion was coming.

After initial successes in Barbarossa, Hitler opined that England would cave in and "has no future in Europe".

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.

To pay for Hitler's Barbarossa atrocity, the Reich levied immediate payment of 10 years of tax on property owners.

«Germany's leaders, however, saw the Volksdeutschen as means to an end. Here Gerhard Weinberg's observation bears repeating: in the 1920s, it was probably the ethnic Germans of South Tirol, under Italian rule, WHO CONSTITUTED THE WORST TREATED GERMAN MINORITY IN EUROPE. BUT NO RESCUE OPERATION WOULD BE FORTHCOMING FOR THEM. INSTEAD, HITLER PUBLICLY DEFENDED THE RENUNICATION OF SOUTH TIROL IN THE INTERSET OF CULTIVATING A STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH MUSSOLINI'S ITALY.»

How the Third Reich exported its economic inflation to other countries while sucking their resources back into its own. This was a necessary process of their heavily socialized economy and autarky practices. International trade was drying up because of their aggressive foreign policy, so the only way to keep the ship (the bloated welfare and warfare state) afloat was stealing from other countries.

By 1940 305,000 Jews and Poles had been expelled from Poland to the "general government" (reduced state area). 180,000 ethnic Germans moved onto Polish farms.

Penal apartheid for Poles conscripted to work in German camps.

"The result was a system of penal apartheid. Polish workers in Germany were confined to the workplace and their allocated billets. They were to wear at all times an identifying tag bearing a large letter 'P'. To ensure that their status was always below that of their German co-workers, their wages were arbitrarily slashed to a maximum of 25 Reichsmarks per month. Polish workers were barred from all public conveyances and all social contacts with Germans. The prudishness of Himmler's elite revealed itself in the prohibition of visits to German cinemas, dances, bars, theatres and churches. Sexual intercourse with Germans was pun ishable by death. Any other transgression, including shirking at work, would result in committal to a concentration camp."

Hitler justifies English rule of India on racial grounds, says same about Russia:

""Furthermore, it is proof that Germans do not understand the methods used by the British in their penetration and administration of the Indian Empire. England will only lose India if she falls prey to racial breakdown through her own administrative machine, something that is unlikely in India at this time, or if she is conquered by the sword of a powerful enemy. Indian rebels will certainly never successfully conquer her. We Germans know from experience how difficult it is to conquer England. Apart from this, I, as a member of the Germanic race, would prefer to see India under English rule than under the control of any other nation. It is impossible to successfully attack a powerful state that is firmly determined to risk its last drop of blood for the sake of its existence and especially foolish to launch such an attack with a coalition of cripples. As a nationalist who knows how to evaluate humanity based on its racial foundations, I cannot link the fate of my own nation with that of the so-called “Oppressed Nations”, which I can see are racially inferior. We must take the very same position today in regard to Russia. At the present time, Russia has been stripped of its Germanic ruling layer and therefore cannot be an ally in the struggle for an independent German nation."

Rosenberg says it's "harmful" for Nordics to mix with Eastern Europeans.

Delusional Hitler says only Nordics can create competent civilizations.

Goebbels in his diaries says of the operation against the USSR:

"There will be no restoration of Czarism in Russia, but a true socialism will replace Jewish Bolshevism".

In other words, they were NOT going to get rid of socialism, but just install their own version of it with a German-controlled puppet socialist dictator.

Fascist syndicalists sought to "infuse nationalism with class struggle" and wanted to establish "worker-controlled factories".

In other words, Communism wrapped up in a national flag.

Here are some questions for the dupes who claim Hitler invaded the USSR to "defeat Bolshevism" exclusively for ideological reasons:

- Why did he not care to "defeat Bolshevism" in 1939 when he made the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact with the USSR which helped EXPAND Bolshevism into the Baltics and eastern Poland?
- How can you "defeat Bolshevism" with SOCIALISM which is basically the same thing economically?
- Why did he keep the Soviet collective farms in place in Ukraine when he took it over and ran them as German collective farms?
- Why did he privately ADMIRE Stalin and call Stalin's economic system "superior" to capitalist ones?
- Why would a radical socialist like Hitler want to eliminate another variation of socialism (Bolshevism)?
- Hitler said it was easier to recruit a communist into the NS worldview than other political groups, so why would he want to eliminate these socialisitc ideological fellow travelers?
