Editing Generalplan Ost

'''Generalplan Ost''' (translated as General Plan East) was the name of a plan devised by [[Nazi]] leaders in 1941to [[genocide]] most of the population in [[Eastern Europe]] and resettle it with [[German Reich (1933–1945)|Germans]] as well as nationalities the Nazis considered close to theirs, such as Latvians and Estonians. This plan was part of the policy of [[Lebensraum]].

The plan was very detailed, going up to denoting specific percentages of each nationalities to exterminate. For example, the Nazis had planned to execute 80-85% of [[Republic of Poland|Poles]], but only 50% of [[Republic of Latvia|Latvians]].

Moreover, they ultimately planned to [[Slavery|enslave]] the remaining population left alive, and [[Eugenics|eugenically]] turn them into mindless slaves over generations.

The whole plan was never put into practice as the Nazis were never able to annex Eastern Europe and ultimately lost the war. However, that did not prevent them from conducting [[crimes against humanity]] and their policy of extermination in the occupied territories, which were also part of the plan in the short-term.
