Did Hitler want them all to speak German? Like what was the long-term plan here
>>
>>18129368
Does the US want Syria to speak English?
>>
>netherlands
were to be incorperated into germany, dutch would adopt standard german much the same as the other lower german speaking krauts did
>france
borders to be pushed west to that of hre times
>denmark and norway
unsure, possibly the same as the netherlands, uniting all Germanics in a single language and country
>poles and east slavs
deported to siberia and or exterminated, lands given to Germans, starting with places like Crimea, St Petersburg, Volga ect.
>czeks
although slavic, thought to be racially "nordic" and germanised as bohemia. same applies to sorbs.
>everyone else
likely just puppet states, could have seen germanic settlement schemes, I think Hitler evenfloated the idea of having another german state on the danube between serbia, hungary and romania.

Mind you, the idea germany could wipe out all the slavs like the americans did to native americans is super unrealistic and could have never been feasibly implemented. I think a realistic senario is germans just settle the best lands and act as some sort of neo-feudal lords. but thats just speculation of course. Its likley Germany might just eventually liberalise anyway or collapse, as happens to all dictatorships.
>>
>>18129368
He only wanted racially compatible peoples to speak German
>>
Why are you including occupied territory?
It's like showing a map of Sweden in the 30-Year War and ask if the Swedes, whom control half of central Europe planned to make everyone speak Swedish.

Mmmmm

It was just a prank bro

Btw Dutch people are literally just swamp Germans. Lower German was closer to Dutch then it is to Lower German, from which Standard German comes from. Lower Germans used standard as their literary language, while Dutch used their own, so Lower Germans became assimilated while Dutch didn't.

The word Dutch literally is the same as Deutsch. "Netherlands" is just the Dutch word for low countries (which of course includes many non Dutch french), its a geographic term not an ethnic one. Historically people called modern Netherlands Lower Germany, and in English the word Dutch was used to refer to both the Netherlands and Germany in the time of Shakespeare.
>>
>>18129396
Do you even know why they invaded those countries?
They had no plans for these countries in the long term.
It was pure strategy. Denmark secures the Baltic. The Low Countries were necessary to circumvent the Maginot and secure forward airfields.

Wiping out the slavs could be implemented but no one wanted to.
>happens to all dictatorships
does it? because it seems like dictatorships last the longest. We still live under King FDR's shadow.
Dictatorships tend to last way longer than democracies in terms of continuity of government.
France hasnt had a government last longer than 40 years.
Britain the only exception among major countries.
The Liberal US and USSR both lasted a very long time, the US is still going as a left wing dictatorship.

>>18129461
Lower German was closer to Dutch then it is to Higher German*
>>
>>18129466
Yes, it does, they either Liberalise economically or in their government. Spain and Portugal became democracies. China adopted a market economy. The USSR collapsed because it was unable to do this.
>>
>>18129480
Spain and Portugal were subverted during the Cold War.
China is still a dictatorship.

The USSR collapsed because it was run by Slavs lmao.

What's your excuse for France? one of the most staunchly democratic countries in history yet famously unstable.
>>
Nordics and Dutch at the time already widely spoke German as second language.
>>
>>18129488
Because French people are retarded.
How is placing all state power on a single man stable exactly? Your entire nation's prosperity depends on one persons biological and mental health, as well as their judgement and intelligence.
At least in Monarchies there are clear rules of succession, in a dictatorship its literally a free for all shitshow power struggle every time your leader dies.
Take a look at Hitler for instance. By the end of his life his body was failing, shaking hands, likely early Parkinsons, dependent on drugs to function and needed a constant support team of helpers to keep him going. Do you think he's still be like that if it wasn't for the immense stress of micro managing your nations entire destiny like youre playing hoi4?
>>
>>18129368
The Nazis wanted to genocide the eastern European Slavs and make more land for Germans to live in.
But I think most of the western countries they occupied they just wanted to be fascist puppet states.
Maybe they would have sought unification with the Netherlands or Denmark eventually, but that wasn't a big priority for them
>>
>>18129495
absolutely not
there were known frictions and tensions between the Dutch SS and Germans because while their languages were supposedly related they are not mutually intelligible and communication was famously really hard because they didn't understand each other, and didn't like each other much actually.
>>
>>18129466

These countries we're invaded strategically, but once occupied would be made use out of.

>>18129368
>italy
? literally not true

>>18129461
Dutch people are frisian, they are GERMANIC but we are not German youre just mountaindutch we have spoken frisian since 700 B.C creating the seeds for danish and english

>>18129495
Ehm german is not widely spoken in the netherlands today and wasnt back then either, also we literally invented the proto nordic languages through frisian but its not spoken here at all. Please kindly refrain from talking about my nation the netherlands youre completely full of shit
>>
>>18129396
Norway, no. Norway was to be an independent state led by National Unification Party with Norge as official language. The invasion of Norway was intended as a defense measure because National Unfiication didn’t have enough wide spread support to take the nation themselves.

Hitler also promised Norway a section of Russia in Murmansk which was to become Norwegian colony Bjarmaland.

That was the Crimea in Ukraine. It was to be “German Gibralter” like how Gibraltar was a British colony hundreds of miles from mainland, Crimea was to be connected to Germany via the autobahn and the area settled by Germans with place names all redone like Servastopol was to be “Thirrenberg” or some such
