History does not tolerate the subjunctive mood. The probable consequences of this or that event can be modeled only after analysis of the participants' plans.

For Hitler, the Soviet Union, in addition to the object of territorial conquest, also represented an ideological adversary. Actually, all the conquests in Europe were aimed at strengthening the military and economic potential and ensuring the rear of Germany during the war in the East.
What did the Ost plan prepare for the peoples
The development of the eastern lands, which, in addition to the Soviet Union, included the territories of Poland and the Baltic countries, was to be carried out in accordance with the General Plan of the East. It was planned that the occupied lands would provide Germany with food, raw materials, labor, and would become part of the Third Reich.
According to the plan, the majority of the population of these territories was to be freed from the indigenous population. Some residents were evacuated to Siberia, a small percentage remained in the occupied land as slaves, the rest were to be destroyed.
For Russians, a policy of racial attenuation was prepared - the destruction of the biological basis by promoting abortion and contraceptives. It was supposed the complete destruction of industry, agriculture, the elimination of medical services, educational institutions and the organization of mass starvation.
A small part was to be assimilated with the Germans. Basically, the “Germans” should have been subjected to the Baltic states as the closest in mentality. The conquered territories were settled by immigrants from Germany. 30 years were allocated for the implementation of the plan.
