How was Memeplan Ost supposed to work?

>>2824879
Although the plan was large scale settlement and extermination, it likely would've devolved into a smaller scale extermination and the creation of an aristocratic German colonist class

Tldr;
Nazis wanted few Russians as slaves, and German peasant towns doing manual labor themselves

In practice would've had German colonists collecting revenue and letting slaves do labor

Also, OP, read the wages of destruction by Adam tooze

Basically. Some sufficiently "Aryan"-looking Russians and Ukrainians would be assimilated (this was also the plan with the Baltic ethnicities), some would be sent west as house servants/slaves, most (that weren't killed or deported East) would effectively be made into serfs on German-owned manors.

In practice, there also would have been endless guerrilla warfare and probably low-level war at the Urals with the rump Soviet Union.

>There were several attempts to start with colonization during the war
Really?

Generalplan Ost is a myth invented by the victors of WWII.

The Hunger Plan was designed to kill a large majority of them, and actually did kill a good amount during the war IIRC.

The rest were to be outright killed, deported to Siberia or enslaved, with a few being deemed "Germanizable" and assimilated into the population.

>there wasnt overpopulation in Germany

There actually sort of was, but ironically it was the Nazi-Soviet alliance that made it worse. There had been a German diaspora throughout much of Eastern Europe, but after the Soviets took over where they lived, they were deported to Germany. This did cause overpopulation issues in Germany proper.

Also, you have to remember that farm yields were FAR lower back then.

This. Generalplan Ost is entirely consistent with Nazi thinking as it is known from sources that there is no reason to doubt are authentic.

There were also smaller settlement/assimilation plans with the Netherlands, Belgium, and a strip of Northern France that corresponded with the HRE's old border with France. This border strip happens to include most of France's coal and iron reserves, which would have left it as an agrarian state dependent on Germany economically. There were also plans to slowly integrate the Nordic states into a Greater Germanic Reich.

I'm not sure anybody in Germany knew.

How are you supposed to conquer the largest country in the world and wipe out its entire population while simultaneously fighting another war?

>>2827529
It's a defensive war (The Soviets were trying to attack first) and Germany never attempted colonizing Russia. It's all bullshit and it wasn't even realistic. Anything Hitler was rambling wouldn't have made its way to the actual plan, and proven so by authentic documents (not all these forged bullshit like Table Talk, etc.). Fuck, didn't know /his/ is this dumb.

The main idea was to start settling Germans out east, as well as other Germanic people like the Dutch and Baltic people. The local peole would be divided into several categories, with the "worthy" ones assimilated while the rest were to be either used as slaves or serfs or pushed further eastwards.
People tasked with putting Generalplan Ost into action (like Rosenberg, for example, who was quite moderate and least enthusiastic about the fantasy project of removing everyone living in the eastern occupied territories) realised the impossible nature of the task quite soon. I read of some estimates that planned to have the Wartheland Gau settled by Germans in a few decades, with the Poles there mostly resettled eastwards. There were also several other areas to be colonised, among them Volhynia, Crimea and several others, while the rest would be slowly settled in the following decades.

Just like with Poland, Denmark, Norway, Yugoslavia, right?
>Germany never attempted colonizing Russia
That's literally what Generalplan Ost was about.
