For all their talk about slavs being untermenschen, Nazis were totes fine with puppet Croatia, Slovakia, and allied Bulgaria.
Even Czechs were treated way better than Poles and Russians, and "Protectorate" was in the middle of Reich, not peripherial colony.
Treat Russians, Ukrainians, Baltic Nations like they did Czechs: exploit but do not exterminate as long as they don't rebel.
Tricky, but doable.
Hitler: Dear Himmler, what do you think of Russians?
Himmler: Untermenschen, kill them all!
Hitler: Really? Because I just decided they are partially descendants of germanic Varangians. Because I, Hitler, said so, therefore its true.
Himmler: I absolutely agree! We must co-opt them to fight Jewish Bolsheviks.
Done.New Nazis not evil enough for you? They still kill Jews and Gypsies, and because they have less problems with partisans in the east, and have puppet Russian army to help them with dirty work, they manage to kill more. Eight million dead of holocaust instead of six.
