Britain would fit in that it is 'globally active' for centuries, making it a possible source of "all the evil" of the current world.
Though it could make things for racism somewhat messy, as of their 'germanic, anglo-saxon' origin. Same counts for the french with their origins of the clearly germanic 'Francs' mingled later with some 'West Goths' elements.
Stretching it even further, than an assumed anti-brits position : bring them (and the regions they live in) into the german empire as their language shows they are german ?

???That would not fit with the "replace Jews as main nazi scapegoat/boogyman" thing though.
I know. I'm saying that it's unlikely that any single event could turn the Nazi Party, Hitler, Himmler etc into focusing on a main enemy that wasn't Jewish.@Wendigo
Uhmm ... You argue with OTL events while I'm asking for a PoD way prior to these OTL events that changes OTL believes and behavior, that lead to these OTL events.![]()
It doesn't have to make sense, the Nazi racial ideology could easily be changed on a whim. For example, you could have the Nazis regard the Russians,Ukrainians,and Belorussians as "Tainted Aryans"based on the whole 'Founded by Swedish Vikings' thing.And you could have Hitler's worldview of the French and thus the Party's view change by having him being the lone surviver of an attack by the French in WWI.I don't think you can just switch the Nazis' racial hatred from Jews to the French with a snap.
Compared to the treatment of Poles and Slavs on the Eastern Front, the German occupation of France and the Low Countries was downright cordial. There was no attempt nor were there plans for the extermination of the French ethnic group. This is because in Hitler's worldview and that of the Party, the French WERE Aryan (albeit tainted). Western Europeans were considered Ayrans, not as pure as Germans but Aryans nonetheless.
You might as well just have them declare Belgians and Dutch subhuman as well and start Generalplan West. Highly unlikely.
