In a victory identical to the Anglo American Nazi War TL (German hegemony on continental Europe from France to the Urals) where the Reich has had time and resources to carry out all of its sick plans and complete the extermination of the Jews/Roma and start on the extermination/enslavement of the Slavs, how knowledgeable would the German public be on the various genocides and mass killings either completed or going on?

Would the Reich government attempt to keep the killing secret or would it be too large to cover up for long?

Or even worse would the Reich take pride and openly celebrate the extermination of European Jewry and the ongoing extermination/enslavement of the Slavs as well?

Would it be used as a warning to their allies (Balkans, Western Europe, Scandinavia) to obey their German masters or else they'll end up like the Ukrainians/Russians/Balts/Poles?

I mean if it is a matter of government policy to work millions of Slavs to death annually in various industries, public works projects, fortification building etc plus the large number of concentration camps still running the secret is coming out eventually. Same with other undesirables and trouble makers who are disappeared in the middle of the night by the Gestapo and either executed, placed in a camp, sent to the East or some other grisly fate.

I believe that the German people would be under no illusion that their impressive quality of life was built on an ever growing mountain of corpses and the backs of malnourished slave laborers toiling in nightmarish conditions for the glory of the "Greater Germanic Reich."
