...(German for "habitat" or literally "living space") served as a major motivation for Nazi Germany's territorial aggression, was a reinterpretation of the by then century-old concept of Drang nach Osten. In his book Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler detailed his belief that the German people needed Lebensraum – for a Großdeutschland, land, and raw materials – and that it should be taken in the East. It was the stated policy of the Nazis to kill, deport, Germanise or enslave the Polish, and later also Russian and other Slavic populations, and to repopulate the land with reinrassig (racially pure) Germanic peoples. The entire urban population was to be exterminated by starvation, thus creating an agricultural surplus to feed Germany and allowing their replacement by a German upper class. Read full entry

Research the Wannsee Conference. This is the meeting where Hitler "legalized" the Final Solution. You should find most of the information you want starting there. I always felt Lebensraum was a political justification for invading Russia (the push to the east). They did have some wild post war plans for the Ukraine, seeing the blond - blue eyed Ukrainians as almost Aryan. Of course the East had to be cleansed of Jews, Slavs and Communists. In the territories of the USSR the Final Solution and Lebensraum were both intertwined. |
