There are real documents that today make it possible to fully judge the actions of the allied forces and their leaders in Europe and Asia, aimed at destroying fascism, its armies and the armies of the Hitlerite alliance; Tehran, Yalta and Potsdam, preparatory meetings and meetings, conferences of foreign ministers and other influential personalities of the Second World War, finally, memories and, in some cases, reflections can also satisfy the inquisitive mind of the readers of “The X-Files … all the secrets of the era of mankind”, Following the ups and downs, central events and significant figures of this unprecedented catastrophe in the history of mankind.
However, we still do not really know what the goals were pursued by Adolf Hitler - this satanic-scale figure in the history of civilizations, going to the East …

Our historians still cannot (or they are not allowed by orders for a new interpretation of our past and modern history) to intelligibly explain how the USSR would have been transformed if the Germans won the Second World War. They refer only to the notorious "General Plan Ost", which, as it turned out, was never considered an outstanding document in Hitler's Germany. Moreover, the original of the entire plan has not reached our time. Only fragments, some chapters, accompanying notes, letters with resolutions, reports and other "halo" documents have survived. But here we will talk about something else …
Historians have found in the archives several other plans for the post-war reconstruction of the USSR, which implied many strategic and many interesting tactical moves, including, for example, even the creation of … a new party of Communist-Leninists from the repressed Trotskyists, Zinovievites, etc.
There are many studies and assessments on this issue, but … Perhaps, only in one of the many books on this curious issue, namely the study “Russian SS men” published by the Veche publishing house, historians D. Zhukov and I. Kovtun for the first time cite lengthy quotations of projects plans of the post-war - in the event of the victory of fascism - the device of the former USSR. We must pay tribute to the above-mentioned researchers, because they not only rely on German documents, but also discarded personal sympathies and antipathies for the personalities of the Second World War; as they say, turned off emotions. By the way, historians in the book never mention that many of their colleagues not only did not look into the archives (mostly copying the same information from each other), but did not disdain even outright myth-making, or, to put it simply, lying.

The planning of the post-war organization in Eastern Europe and the USSR was carried out primarily in the Reichskommissariats for strengthening the German people of Himmler, for the occupied eastern territories of Alfred Rosenberg, as well as in the apparatus of Hermann Goering (it was called the Green Folder). The development was also led by the Racial-Political Administration of the NSDAP, which acted as the boss and coordinator of the plans of all other departments for the reconstruction of the occupied territories.
The development of the "party" plan in the NSDAP was directed by the anthropologist Walter Gross. In November 1940, he sent to the SS guidelines on how to deal with the indigenous population of the occupied territories in the East: “Highlight individual nationalities as much as possible. We will use immigrants from such nationalities as police officers and burgomasters. The issue of training and, therefore, the selection and filtering of youth is of fundamental importance. Parents who want to give the best school education should contact the SS and the police for this. The decision is made according to whether the child is racially flawless. From the moment the child and the parents arrive in Germany, they will not be treated as pariahs, but after they change their surname with full confidence in them.
Over the coming decades, the population of the General Government will consist of the remaining local residents. This population will serve as a source of labor, supplying Germany with seasonal workers and workers for the production of special jobs every year."
The provisions of the document are based on the "achievements" of previous years; This is exactly the policy the Germans carried out in their colonization formations in the East - in the Baltic States, in the Slavic countries of Central Europe. The best were selected for Germanization, and the rest were made powerless slaves, capable only of cultivating the land. It is from this point of view that another leader of the Reich, the chief of the RSHA Heydrich, describing the future colonization of Ukraine, “which at first as an intermediate solution should be, of course, still dormant in the subconscious of the national idea, separated from the rest of Russia and used as a source of useful fossils and provisions under German control. Of course, not allowing the people to gain a foothold or strengthen there "…

The conductor of Nazi policy in the East was supposed to be "Germanized intermediaries" - the Czechs. This approach is nothing new: in colonial countries, white conquerors quite often chose this kind of intermediaries to carry out their policy among the natives. For example, the British used the services of the Indians during the expansion of Malaysia, the Caribbean, etc. The French in the North African colonies relied on local Jews.
Poles among the Nazis were called "incorrigible" - in Germany they were convinced that they did not lend themselves to Germanization. But the Czechs, especially those living in the Sudetenland, were already considered "Germanized Slavs." The Nazis noted the diligence and hard work of the Czechs and relied on them as the best helpers of the German colonists in the East. The Ukrainians, as well as the Poles and Russians, were not included in the circle of trust of the Hitlerite department.
Another plan for the "arrangement" of the East was sent to Himmler in May 1942 and concerned the program of colonization of the USSR, primarily Ukraine and the fertile lands of the North Caucasus, developed by the Institute of Agriculture at the University of Berlin. The program was designed for 25 years. But unlike the Soviet five-year plans, it affected not only the economy, but also geopolitics. In particular, quotas were introduced and the terms for Germanization for different nationalities were named. The Soviet link between town and village looked somewhat different than in Stalin's plans; The overwhelming part of the local population was simply proposed to be evicted from cities to the countryside, to be used entirely for land development, growing agricultural products, and participating in other agricultural activities.
To transform the national appearance of regions with a small number of German population, it was proposed to introduce a system of margraves. The first planned to create the margrave of Ingermanlandia (Leningrad region - after the capture of Leningrad), Gotengau (Crimea and Kherson) and Memel-Narev (Lithuania-Bialystok). In Ingermanland, the population of the cities was to be reduced to 200 thousand people. In Poland, Belarus, the Baltic States and Ukraine, it was planned to create 36 strong points, ensuring the effective functioning of the infrastructure, the connection of the margraves with each other and the metropolis. The ultimate goal of the margraves was that they were to be Germanized by 50%, and strongholds or capitals by 25-30%.

1942 - the year of the destruction of the empire in the East by the Germans, was also the year of a large number of various plans for reorganizing the USSR. Another plan was drawn up by Dr. Wetzel in April 1942. It proposed to leave selectively 14 million Slavs in the territories of the former USSR, but to put them under control of 4.5 million Germans. It was planned that these 14 million (about 12 percent of the population of the pre-war USSR) will reach the pro-German level of at least Czechs, and then become Germans altogether. The role of mediators in the Germanization of the Slavs of the USSR was no longer to be played by the Czechs, but by the Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians. The Russians were considered the least suitable people for Germanization, moreover, poisoned for 25 years by the poison of "Judo-Bolshevism" - they included the inhabitants of the eastern territories of the Ukrainian SSR. Hitler: “We will not go to Russian cities, they must completely die out. We must not torment ourselves with remorse. We do not need to get used to the role of a nanny, we have no obligations to the local residents. " According to Wetzel's plan, 35% of Ukrainians and 25% of Belarusians were subject to Germanization. The remaining 65% and 75% of Ukrainians and Belarusians will be deported to Siberian Russia. Some of the Slavs were supposed to be resettled even to South America, and in their place - Germans or Germanized.
In 1943, the German town of Hegewald was created near Himmler's headquarters in Zhitomir: 10,000 Germans took the place of 15,000 Ukrainians expelled from their homes. At the same time, the first settlers went to Crimea.
Finally, in January 1943, the same department of Himmler, the Reichskommissariat for the strengthening of the German people, developed another plan, but also semi-official. In a condensed form, it looked something like this: “When Bolshevism is eradicated in Russia, the eastern territories will come under German rule on the model of the“marks”that Charlemagne established in the east of his empire. The methods of government will be similar to those with which England turned her colonies into dominions. After the complete restoration of peace and economic prosperity, these territories will be returned to the Russian people so that they live in complete freedom, and a peace and a trade agreement for 25 years will be concluded with the new government.
Russia is assigned the role of an outpost in the decisive struggle against Asia, which will begin sooner or later. The Great German Reich will be replaced by the German-Gothic Reich, whose territory will extend to the Urals."
All these plans were destined to remain on paper.
Instead of an afterword
It turns out in such a way that the Germans did not have any chosen from all projects and approved official plan for the post-war transformation of the territory of the USSR. Isn't it more than strange for an aggressive state that was rapidly advancing to the East in those years, seizing states every month and enslaving peoples, filling vast territories with blood?
However, none of the German leaders suffered from the absence of such a plan. The department of Reich Minister Alfred Rosenberg, for example, finding itself on the Ukrainian soil scorched by the advanced German troops, intensively took measures to establish and maintain a "new" order, to create all sorts of commandant's offices with the involvement of cadres from the local population, etc. - also punitive - against Jews, gypsies, handicapped and mentally ill residents of the occupied territories, communists and Komsomol members. They acted according to another, main, plan, the author of which was Adolf Hitler, who outlined it in "Mein Kampf": to destroy libraries, universities, laboratories, historical monuments as sources of historical memory.
The exterminatory policy proclaimed by Hitler in his main work became dominant - the destruction of the bulk of the Slavs, as the axis of Hitler's main plan, led to the fact that Ukraine lost 8 million of its citizens; 2.5 million died on the fronts of the war, the loss of civilian population - 5.5 million.
The Battle of the Kursk Bulge and at Stalingrad put a just end to this bloody movement across our land.
But the cost was extremely high.

During the war in Ukraine 714 cities and towns, 28 thousand villages were destroyed, more than 16 thousand enterprises were destroyed. The losses of Ukraine in the war were 42% of the losses of the USSR.
