This is one of those relative bad things. Imperial Germany is still going to do bad things from our point of view. Evict a few million Poles from their homes in Poland of a strip to be annexed to Germany and then resettled with Germans. Poland, Ukraine, France, etc are going to get the TLC of German occupation IE iron fist and if there are any incidents civilians will get shot. They are going to try do some colonization or the like in Poland, Baltics, etc many Nazi ideas dated from WW1. What you wont get with the German Empire is industrial mass murder, the extermination groups, death camps, IE wholesale genocide.
So yes this is better than Nazi Germany but just about anything is better by comparison.

That was hardly the uniform demands of all German power brokers for the peace. The SPD coming to power right afterwards could easily torpedo such plans. Or the cost to the strained economy. Or the failure to really get any colonists to go east to said strip. Or the farmer's uproar if the government is pushing away all their seasonal labour. Imperial Germany is still a democracy, albeit a flawed one. One that is likely to become more representative after the war, like Britain expanding the franchise. They aren't going to bull through crazy plans like the Nazi's. They have a lot of other issues to deal with as well, and the post-war era had a habit of loosening the war era aims.
