Empire
Hitler said Germany would become a world empire. We also know that he basically wanted only European parts of the USSR. Even if Germany had taken all of Russia's European part, the USSR would still be the largest empire in the world. He wanted no part of Britain, France or the Western Hemisphere. On top, Bolshevism threatened the entire world and Hitler would have crushed that monster once and for all. Russia's imperial politics was and is to own as much land as possible, so nobody else can use it or its resources. This Weltanschauung produces artificial scarcity, including poverty for its own citizens. Also, Western Russia would simply fall within German jurisdiction and German cities would be built along the transit routes. Other than that, Russian culture, etc, would basically remain the same and Russian workers would benefit from the new doctrine. World Empire is not One World Empire that the USSR aimed for.
West of the Urals
Hitler said he wanted the Urals to be the natural dividing line between the European West and the Asian East. West of the Urals would be a highly fortified line of defense. What Stalin and Putin have done is unite all of Russian territory, merging the races.
Hitler was very conscious of the distinction of the White race, and of keeping it White. And I agree with you, Markus, that the Russians would not have been turned into slaves, that's the same old lie, but they would have totally retained their culture and language; only the administration of their lands would have been better. There was no desire at all to transform them into Germans.
And there would be German-settled towns too, kept separate from the Russian towns and villiages. That's how I see it.
In that scenario, the German population would have increased and expanded in the world; what we have instead is that the number of Germans is shrinking, which is not good for the White race at all. The JewSA is most responsible for bringing this about.
Best Soldiers in the World, The German Wehrmacht
I recently heard of a book "Die besten Soldaten der Welt, Die Deutsche Wehrmacht aus der Sicht berühmter Ausländer" , where prominent foreigners praise the German soldiers. It mentions how German soldiers fought and behaved toward the peoples in occupied territory. (It is highlighted that Germans did not rape women and did not loot or steal.)
I have translated two passages of an extract of the book.
British diplomat and secretary of Churchill, John Colville, "The German soldiers were the best in the world."
"We thank the knighted German soldiers for their fair way to fight. We will never forget them and take their dead comrades under our wings as trustees. My people have never forgotten the German soldiers and their civilized ways." (King Idriss Sanussi of Libya)

I think, it is only in German and out of print, but this is very valuable history.
Beautiful
Thanks for this, Markus. Scriptorium is such a wonderful site, run by wonderful people. They need money too, to make new translations. I tend to forget about them.
Another great site that endzog told me about belongs to Annett, the singer. Please correct me if I'm wrong on that. http://deutscher-freiheitskampf.com/ It's only in German but I've been using Google Translate.
