Why did the Nazis collaborate with and arm Eastern European fascist groups such as the Ukranian Insurgent Army to establish breakaway regimes if their plans laid out in Generalplan Ost involved eventually eliminating and deporting the vast majority of their ethnic groups immediately after the war and repopulating them with Germans?
Surely this would mean that after the war they'd have to destroy these states in the event of German victory?

The Germans pretty much gave up on their crazy mass murder plans (minus the one everybody knows about) once they realized that that there weren't enough Germans who were willing to actually move into the areas they wanted to colonize. Seriously, they tried to find volunteers. Nobody in Germany wanted to move to Eastern Europe.
Imperial Germany had the same issue with their African colonies. They could never find enough Germans willing to move to Africa, so they had to rely on local labor.
Why did so many Germans move to the US then?
They were temporary allies to be destroyed as soon as the soviets were dealt with.
Because Germany was a shithole that looked good only on paper
Because America isn't overrun with retarded Niggers and Slavs. Just the Irish.
Hitler was a retard. He wanted to kill all socialists but he forgot his own party had a bunch of materialists and marxists, including his own best man Goebbels.
In short: he wasted German's money and lost the war because of his socialist incompetence
I doubt they saw the collaborators as a threat, considering how they were more effective against unarmed civilians than actual armies.
that was like 100 years prior, and many of the immigrants were political refugees. not to mention america was probably richer, unlike east europe
I hope you fucking die, namefag trash.
>You have to like someone to use them for your own agenda
Epic thread.
Goebbels was a yes man who gave up his economic leftism for power.
well done for entirely missing the point
carving out well armed ss trained fascist states in areas designated for colonisation and people designated for deportation/extermination works against their agenda
Generalplan Ost is a bit of a meme, but it's pretty ebin.
Highly unlikely the Germans could follow through, and they'd already evactuated most ethnic Germans from the East well before the War even began. Nothing more than a theoretical outcome, like the various wunderwaffes that some pencil pusher came up with.
Quiet frankly, I doubt Hitler even seriously considered invading the USSR until he'd seen how easily France had fallen and sniffed too many of his own farts, believing his generals to be unbeatable.
Hitler thought the German army was so great they could literally destroy every other nation on Earth regardless of circumstances. It's why he lost WWII.
Dunkirk, instead of serving as a warning, was brushed aside because BITCH WE GOT BACK FRANCE.
Germans go crazy when they get back at France.
Bandera was actually arrested by the Nazis after OUN declared Ukrainian independence and released only in September 1944.
But the Nazis used them largely as auxiliary police. Ukrainians hated Jews, Poles and Russians so they were used to spread terror among the locals and to carry out the extermination of Jews in the East.
The question should be: Why Ukrainians decided to collaborate with the Nazis after they arrested OUN leadership and strated to exploit and oppress their people?
Because the commies sucked more. That's really the reason. Holomodor was still fresh in people's minds back then.
Except they didn't experience the holodomor. Holodomor happened in East Ukraine. OUN was formed in West Ukraine and their biggest achievement was the massacre of Poles in 1943.
This is interesting.
>According to Timothy Snyder, "something that is never said, because its inconventient for precisely everyone, is that more Ukrainian Communists collaborated with the Germans, than did Ukrainian nationalists." Snyder also points out that very many of those who collaborated with the German occupation, also collaborated with the Soviet policies of the 1930s.[9]
Seems like pure opportunism. Even some Jews collaborated with the Nazis.
