What would have happened if Hitler had won?This terrible question often asked by historians wishing to understand, from which the Soviet Union had saved the whole world, together with its allies defeated the Third Reich in 1945.Answers to this question is truly frightening.
German plans
From 1939 to 1942 developed several plans that imply the surrender of the USSR in the war against Germany.First came the so-called plan "Barbarossa", then the concept was published by Alfred Rosenberg.In 1942, Hitler's appetite grew, so the German problem was enlarged.If Hitler had won, the plan "Ost" called for mass migration and the destruction and Germanization of whole groups of people.Under Germanization, according to the ideology of fascism, is best suited Baltic peoples.More specifically - Latvians.Other people believe in genetics closer to the Slavic.
Whatever became the world if Hitler won: map of the USSR
So, suppose Hitler's victory over the Soviet Union.Rosenberg's concept provides for the division of the USSR into 5 parts:
- Ostland.This governor was based in the Baltics and Belarus.
- Reichskommissariat Ukraine.In fact, this administrative-territorial units existed, but not in those borders, as suggested by Rosenberg.The capital of this entity located in Rivne, and consisted of the Right Bank and Left Bank Ukraine.What would have happened if Hitler had won?On the territory of Ukraine, Crimea, Krasnodar Territory and the Volga Germans was supposed to create a controlled state of Ukraine.
- Muscovy.It was about the European part of Russia to the Ural Mountains.
- Caucasus governorship.In this formation would include administrative Transcaucasian republics of the USSR, as well as the land of the North Caucasus.
- Turkestan.At the governor planned to include the regions of Russia, which are beyond the Urals.
We see the plan, in which the support of the fascist regime after the division of the Soviet Union became Ukraine, which would be formally received the status of an independent state.
Realizing that it was used, if Hitler had won, we must once again raise huge praise of the Red Army and the entire Soviet people, who actually saved Europe from itself and an incredible plague of death.
Map of Europe in the event of the defeat of the USSR in the Great Patriotic War
So what would have happened if Hitler had won, with the borders of the European countries?In this respect, historians seems rather depressing picture.Hitler's allies (Italy, Romania, Hungary) are likely to be retained formal independence.Perhaps in these countries could be increased by the addition of surrounding land.The plans form the Führer was a vast empire, which constantly had to be increased by the addition of new land.Which countries could enter into Germany if Hitler had won the USSR?First of all, Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland.About the plans division of the USSR, we have already mentioned above.Also, do not forget that the fascist troops before the attack on the Soviet Union managed to annex the Benelux countries, Scandinavia (except Finland, which was also an ally of Hitler), and part of France.Germany's neighbor Austria was annexed by Hitler before the start of World War II, so the question of the fate of this country in hypothetical terms do not even have to lead.
Administrative division of Germany would have looked that way.As a unitary state, Germany would be divided in the governorship.These territories were run by people who are directly appointed by Hitler.About the size of governorships hard to judge.It's safe to say that the old national borders have been redrawn.For the policy of the Reich, it was important to mix the nations that have arisen in certain areas of organized opposition to the enemy.
history of the plan "Ost"
Since the plan "Barabarossa" provided the Nazis victory over the Soviet Union before the winter 1941/1942 years., German generals and scientists in the mid-1941 began to wonder about the fate of the peoples of the conquered territories in the East.By the end of the summer of 1941 the plan had already been developed by Reich Security Main Office.Officially, he was introduced May 28, 1942.By the way, this document was arhisekretnym.Representatives of the Soviet Union and its allies did not even managed to attach the original of the plan documents, which appeared as proof of guilt of the Nazis at the Nuremberg trials.
original document is found in the German archives recently, in 2009.Before that politicians and historians, of course, aware of the existence of the plan, but no one could find it.
Resettlement nations who could move?
What would have happened if Hitler had won, in terms of maximizing the area of residence of the German nation (Aryan)?To do this it was necessary to relocate or to exterminate the peoples of the conquered eastern lands.What would have happened if Hitler had won, with the people of Poland and the USSR?Resettlement, or subject to a gradual destruction of the Jews, Poles, Belarusians, Russian, representatives of various national minorities.The scale of planned relocations truly enormous.
colonization of land West Prussia
noted that plans for the colonization of Hitler hatched before the attack on the USSR.In 1940, a plan was developed for the agricultural colonization of West Prussia and wartheland.As of 1939, these lands were part of Poland.At the time of the occupation of the territory of the population was 4 million.Of these, 3.4 million - the main nation (Poles).Also, there lived 560 thousand. Jews.The document stated clearly that it would be like if Hitler had won, with the representatives of these peoples.Their fate prompted the usual logic of the behavior of the Germans - slavery for some time, and then the physical destruction.In the case of resettlement planning Germans certainly pointed to a new deployment of this group of people.
What Hitler had planned to do?It had to move more than 4 million Germans.The main focus of settlement had to touch the rural areas (3 million people).The plan was to take people in agriculture - to create 100,000 households by type of farm area of 29 hectares each.
Colonization Soviet
What would have happened if Hitler had won World War II, the USSR?Speaking in a nutshell - huge base of resettlement and the genocide of the nation.In 1942 we developed two versions of colonization.The first was published in May 1942.What ideas expressed in this document?Colonization was to cover an area of 364,231 square meters.kilometer.According to archive data on the census, lived on these lands some 25 million people.It provided for the establishment of 36 support points (the type of administrative district centers).In addition, the draft said that will create three administrative districts with centers in Leningrad, in the areas of Kherson and Bialystok.Type of colonization coincided with the plan of colonization of West Prussia - these lands were going to develop agriculture.The difference is that the supposed creation of larger farms, an area which could range from 40 to 100 hectares.But that is not all!The plan was the creation of large agricultural enterprises with a minimum area of 250 acres of beautiful fertile soil.
In the second plan, released in September 1942, also referred to the establishment of agricultural settlements.Planned for occupancy area is about 330,000 square meters.kilometers.For this project created 360 100 households.
dimensions of human migration on the documents plan "Ost"
As we understand it, would be completely different victory if Hitler won.About the size of migrations that he wanted to hold together with party members in different sources say different.The fact that the areas selected for agricultural colonization, actually lived about 60 million people.The idea is that most of them had to be transported to Western Siberia.But there is another view that the Germans wanted to take their familiar places over the years about 31 million inhabitants.In "liberated" territory of Germany itself want to move up to 20 million "Aryans."
Conclusion We hope that everyone understands what would have happened if Hitler had won the war.I'd like to never in the world to repeat the mistakes of the past.
