Did Hitler see the Germans as being above the Slavs? Yes, he did. For good reason. Eastern Europe was a shit hole for the most part. Did he want to cleanse Eastern Europe of the Bolsheviks and get it in the sphere of influence of Germany? Yes, of course. Did he want to exterminate the Slavs? Absolutely fucking not. He would've already struggled to repopulate the formerly occupied German territories. Settling the vastness of Eastern Europe with Germans? That would've been impossible.
That story is on the same level as the masturbation machines. Completely removed from reality.
I'd have to find the source again but I'm pretty sure he was onboard with "bleaching" the Eastern Bloc as it were (especially considering historic German populations in the area i.e. aforementioned Volga Germans and Siebenburg Saxons of Romania)
I have my doubts about that as Hitler wasn't exactly a fan of race mixing. But if you find the source please send me the link. It's the first time I'm hearing about it.
At most they wanted to "cleanse" the Slavic lands in the most positive sense of the term - by marrying already Germanized Slavs to Germans.
As opposed to what Stalin did.

I think that's the thing, it wasn't seen as "mixing" - the opposite really per my understanding of Nuremberg laws. I'll have to look for it when able.
