I’m not the most educated here, so everything im saying is purely what I’ve read without a lot of further research, so this is gonna be a bit of a mess because I don’t know how to explain my question, but here we go:
In propaganda and school maps of the world during the Nazi Era, places like the German Colonies in Africa were still shown as being part of Germany. Did the Nazis plan to do more in Africa than what we ended up seeing or was that more of a symbolic or prestige thing?
In Northern Italy, South Tyrol and Trent were huge subject for debate among Germany and Italy with both sides believing they had the right to have the territories. Towards the end of the war, 1943 or so, Germany set up special occupation zones in Friulia and South Tyrol that were essentially treated as extensions of bordering German subdivisions, but Hitler said that he never wanted to fully annex them. He also said that Northern Italians had Norse heritage and that the Roman Empire’s success was because of this heritage and it only died out when the ruling class became ‘tainted’ or something like that. What did Germany want to do with Italy if theres so much conflict here?
And how far did the Nazis wanna go into Russia? Obviously the A-A line was the most considered but Hitler also said he wanted to push the russians past the urals. There were proposals to settle Turkestan too, and i believe a few things about Finland. Does anyone know anything about what they wanted their final borders in Russia to look like, is there any more information on what they wanted to do with the parts of Russia that weren’t gonna be annexed, and did Japan have any say on what would happen in Siberia as well?
Were there plans to do anything with Banat and the rest of Serbia? They managed Serbia and especially Banat extremely weird, and I’ve always assumed that it was because of the Swabians there but im not really sure
And what about Britain? I know they considered Britain more of a potential ally than a future province, but i also know they wanted to occupy Ireland for Operation Sealion and intended on fully annexing the Channel Islands.
Looking for as detailed of answers as I can possibly get, hopefully even more information than just what i mentioned, and how you think a German victory would’ve ended up looking like with how impossible it is to actually manage as much territory as they wanted. Thank you!
