New Order (Nazism)
[1][non-primary source needed] Among other things, the New Order followed an emergent Nazi vision for a pan-German racial state structured to the benefit of a perceived Aryan-Nordic master race, and drafted plans for German colonization into Central and Eastern Europe alongside the continued Holocaust of Jews, Roma, and other ethnicities deemed "unworthy of life".
So, Hitler, who initially had not expected a total victory (and so, wanted a fast end to the war without greater social rearrangements to Western countries and a quick return to Ostpolitik), started to develop plans to make France a subordinate state with territorial and political changes to maintain that situation for a long time.
[74] During the summer of 1940, Hitler considered the possibility of occupying the Portuguese territories of Azores, Cape Verde, and Madeira and the Spanish Canary Islands, all of them in the Atlantic Ocean, in an effort to deny the British a staging ground for military actions against Nazi-controlled Europe.
[82] Also Vichy France tried to invite Vatican City in the Latin Bloc by arguing that in the long-term it would serve as an Anti-Protestant and Anti-Jewish while also helping Traditionalist Catholicism against the menace of Liberal democracy from Northern Europe and the legacy of French Revolution (as its romanticization was being academically questioned in the Révolution nationale that sought to found a post-republican France reconciled with the Catholic counterrevolution movement), but Pope Pius XII refused to provide support to regimes that were openly authoritarian, caesarist and practiced "statolatry" (as Catholic Church condemned Fascism in the Non abbiamo bisogno encyclical) while militarly actively collaborated with anti-Semitic Nazi Germany and its Totalitarian ideologies (as Nationalsocialism has been condemned in the Mit brennender Sorge encyclical), not being able the Holy See to fully legitimize Vichy France, and its equivalent nationalcatholic clerical regimes, until those reactionary modernist regimes practiced the Catholic integrism of its social doctrine, which involved their detachment from nationalist ideologies and political modernism (and so, get out of the collaboration with the Axis Powers).
[117] The Reichfestung Belgrad had been referred to in a "great secret memorandum" by Secretary of State and SS Brigade Chief Wilhelm Stuckart in 1941, being about the situation and future fate of Germany in the territories of the former Yugoslavia, based on scripts of 1939 from Werner Lorenz and the Hauptamt Volksdeutsche Mittelstelle.
So, Nazi Germany was open to give concessions to some non-slavic Untermensch nations (such as Chechens, Daghestani or Azerbaijanis) that were anti-Russian, so facilitating the establishment of a German Sphere of Influence in Asia from the Reichskommissariat Kaukasien (which would had a territory from Volga-Don to Iran-Turkey borders).
[148][149] Though the Armenian prisoners of war and refugees were somewhat discriminated against, the ultimate status of Armenia remained an academic problem because the Germans never reached it.By 1942, Hitler's empire encompassed much of Europe, but the territories annexed lacked population desired by the Nazis.
The northern third was to be assigned to its Italian ally (believing that his natural geopolitics pointed towards the Mediterranean-Red Sea region, alike Roman Empire, and that Germany should respect that as long as Italy didn't betray them), while the central part would fall under German rule, based in restoring former Mittelafrika projects.
[169] The Nazis considered that to rule North Africa, first, they needed to collaborate with the fascists from Italy, Spain and France, and then, use the local Maghreb populations and Islamic nationalist as bargaining chips, spreading the idea that Germany was their savior from the other empires and thus have a meaning to put pressure on their partners (in the long term, potential rivals to dominate alike their Arab subjects).
[192] A second part of the plan entailed the construction of a huge string of fortified naval and air bases for future operations against the Western hemisphere, spanning much of the Atlantic coastline of Europe and Africa from Trondheim in Norway all the way down to the Belgian Congo, as well as many off-lying islands such as Cape Verde and the Azores.
[194] Ironically, during early stages of the War, there were some German–Soviet Axis talks, promoted by Joachim von Ribbentrop and Friedrich-Werner Graf von der Schulenburg in 1940-1941 (having some Strasserist and National Bolshevist elements), to temporarily include Soviet Union in the Axis Powers (until the Wehrmacht were fully prepared for the conquer of Lebensraum) to develop a Eurasian Kontinentalblock against British Empire and the United States, trying to menace or even liquidate the global Thalassocracy of the Anglosphere, while also convincing Soviet Comintern to abandon Communist world revolution projects and threatening the existence of capitalist democratic system in the "socialist" New Order (Nazi Germany main goal was to finally conclude the Western Front and be free to start an Eastern Front without the risks of a temible Two-front war, while replacing UK as 1° World Superpower).
So, the Soviet sphere of influence would be focused on the partition of Asia (and so distracting Stalin of European affairs), receiving Russians in the New Order the non-Arabian Middle East, from Anatolia to Persian Gulf, and Indian subcontinent towards Arabian Sea.
[163] However, discussions over how to deal with the Indo-Iranian land territories were attempted to be avoided and only areas of military operation were delimited in the line at 70° E. It is pretty known that ultra-nationalist Japanese were developing plans to reach the Persian Gulf, Afghanistan, India, former Chinese Western Regions (Central Asia) and former Mongol Domains in the Eurasian Steppe, as they considered themselves the rightful heir of all Asian Nomadic empires and Eastern civilization's as a whole, while orientalists of the Ahnenerbe association proposed to expand German Sphere of influence over Turkestan (including Xinjiang), Tibet and Northern-Western India as the rightful heirs of Russian and British imperialism in Central Asia, desiring to develop a Neopagan solidarity with Hinduist's, Buddhist's and Taoist's (considered remnants of Aryan race's legacy in Asia before being lost with Miscegenation, and spiritually more near to the authentic "Germanic religion" before being infected by "Jewish Christianity" and its Slave morality).
[210] "The alliance (which was reconfirmed by the Tripartite Pact of September 1940 that included Italy) was a 'marriage of convenience' and an 'alliance without a backbone', as the partners quarrelled over control of the Dutch East Indies and French Indochina, Germany's invasion of Russia, Japanese diplomatic talks with the United States in April 1941, German demands that Japan attack Singapore in early 1941, and the exchange of strategic wartime resources.
Regarding the latter, the party revealed its dearth of diplomatic sense and its stubborn view that all Germans outside the Reich must be united into a world-wide Volksgemeinschaft [racial community]; it was willing even to undermine Germany's agreement with Japan with its political agitation and propaganda in the country.
"Moreover, during the initial phases of the WWII, between Fall of France (on June 25, 1940) and the start of South-East Asian theatre of World War II (on December 5, 1941), the Nazi Party Foreign Organization was planning to expand the Reichskolonialbund area of operation on German-occupied Netherlands (aperturing NSDAP Office of Colonial Policy in Amsterdam and Batavia),[169] which implicated the interest to conquer the Dutch East Indies (or at least secure it for German Sphere of Influence) before a Japanese invasion of Indonesia.
[236] The OKW produced studies concerning an attack against the Suez Canal through Turkey, an offensive towards Baghdad-Basra from the Caucasus (most of which was already under German occupation as a result of Fall Blau) in support of revolting Arab nationalists, and operations in Afghanistan and Iran directed against British India.
[252] Beside, Franz Von Papen menaced Turkey to send them economic sanctions and disarm the country if they weren't collaborative with the New Order,[253] while supporting at the same time the Bulgarian claims to Thrace and the possibility of an Axis destruction of Istanbul and Izmir with Bombardments, which ended in the German–Turkish Treaty of Friendship.
After Fascist Italy (which had Eastern Mediterranean in their Sphere of Influence) and Vichy France defeat, Nazi Germany intensify its support to anti-colonial movements among Palestinians, developing in 1944 the Operation Atlas to instigate an Islamic insurgency in British Palestine, trying to devastate Allied forces of the Western Front there while also sabotage the Jewish insurgency in Mandatory Palestine, in the long-term the Palestinian Germans would supervise the operations to check Muslims' loyalty due to possible conflicts of loyalty among Arab tribes (while also had a strong control of the German interests in the region).
[263] On 17 February 1945 in particular he explained to his entourage his regrets that Germany's prior alliance with its southern neighbor had prevented her from pursuing a more revolutionary policy towards the Arab world, which would have also allowed its exit from the British and French spheres of influence in the area:[263] In the nature of things, this territory was becoming an Italian preserve and it was as such that the Duce laid claim to it.
[278] But, due to Operation Fire Eater being discovered by the Afghan government in July 1941 (arresting some key figures of the Abwehr), the German planifications concerning Central Asia were renewed in the Operation Tiger, which now had direct participation of the German Foreign Ministry in a recently developed sub-section specifically for the Nazi interests in India (entrusted that subsection to Adam von Trott zu Solz, and supervised by Wilhelm Keppler) while also included the participation of perceived pro-Axis Indian nationalists agents of Subhas Chandra Bose, like Bhagat Ram Talwar (who actually was a spy of the Comintern, in contact with the head of the Soviet foreign intelligence station, Mikhail Andreevich Allahverdov).
[281] "the Turks can achieve independence only with the assistance of the Axis countries, and therefore turkestanis consider themselves their soldiers and are ready to fulfill any task"Nazi orientalists like Alfred Rosenberg conceived that Central Asia were a natural extension of Lebensraum and that Turkic peoples should be included in the Generalplan Ost.
Some Pan-Turkist and Turanist collaborators, like Nuri Killigil or Hüseyin Hüsnü Emir Erkilet, attempted to instigate a Tukic insurrection against Stalin, but Nazis rejected those plans as they didn't want to have an unified Turkic Kaganate as a pro-Axis puppet state.
[328][329] In addition, there were some Franco-Canadian fascist secret societies around the Université de Montréal (François Hertel, Pierre Trudeau, and Jean Drapeau were members) and with minor contact with Nazi Germany and Vichy France (although it was an initiative of their own) that were planning to start a fascist revolution, based on Clerical fascism and the Frères chasseurs, against the Canadian Confederation and its parliamentarist party-based democracy with "Jewish" capitalist plutocracy, having the main goal to proclaim the independence of Quebec (taking advantage of the Conscription Crisis of 1944) and hoping to get Axis Powers help in the future in case the Allies, or at least the Commonwealth from UK, intervened to restore Liberalism and British Canadian supremacy.
However, there wasn't much planification from the German side for the administration of an occupied Panama, nor plans for Social engineering concerning the Mestizo elements within Hispanic and Indigenous Americans (probably due to the lack of interest from Nazi Germany to Latin America).
[367] In 1942, NSDAP official Erhard Wetzel (Reich Ministry for the Occupied Eastern Territories) predicted that "the self-determination of the numerically strong Asian peoples after this war" would challenge German-controlled Europe with Japanese instigation, and stated that "a Greater Asia and an independent India are formations that dispose over hundreds of millions of inhabitants.
[368] As the Japanese were conquering one European colonial territory after another in Asia and Oceania, and while they were also seemingly poised to take over Australia and New Zealand as a result of their conquests, Hitler believed that the white race would completely disappear in these regions, which he considered a turning point in human history.
[371]After the decisive German defeat at the end of the Battle of Stalingrad on 2 February 1943, Germany was forced to go on the defensive and as a result, it was no longer able to actively pursue its implementation of the New Order in the Soviet Union, but it was able to continue its genocide against the Jews, the Romani, and other minorities.
[372] At the same time, Nazis desperately make some concessions to the highly hated Untermensch Slavs (specially the offers of the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations and the Russian Liberation Army of White émigré), recognizing Alfred Rosenberg position about the necessity to strengthen Anti-Soviet Collaborationism to replace the Wehrmacht's heavy losses,[373] as now wasn't realistic to conquer Lebensraum only with German power, or even the annexation of territories outside Poland (needing now to establish pro German Puppet-States like in the Mitteleuropa projects, or at least having means to instigate a new Russian Civil War that should put pressure on the Soviets in future peace negotiations), so were recognized a Belarusian Central Council, a Ukrainian National Committee and even a Committee for the Liberation of the Peoples of Russia.
[citation needed] Late in the war, after the failure of the final Ardennes offensive and after the successful Allied crossing of the Rhine into Germany itself, Hitler hoped that a decisive victory on the Eastern Front might still enable the Nazi regime to preserve itself, resulting in Operation Spring Awakening.
