Western Europe Third Reich Annexation.

This is one of the few times I'm needing blunt correction and/or education on such a matter.

I've gotten word that Hitler would, in case of sheer and total victory, eventually formally annex the British Isles, the Low Countries, some of north France as part of the Low Countries, and perhaps Scandinavia into the Reich as they were Aryans.

I sort-of can believe this. After all, he had plans to invade Sweden and Switzerland, and considering their populations, I can see no other reason for invading other than uniting fellow 'Aryans' under the reich. I also heard of plans of a 'Reichkomissariat Gross-Britannien'.

So did Hitler plan to annex anymore of Western Europe into the Reich/Germany proper? If so, whom and what specifically?

Where did you get word of this?

The Nazis wanted eastern Europe, not western. They also would have liked to see france ruined as a global power But really only cared about their living space. They were content to let the British rule the World as long as teh Germans rules Europe.

Actually, they did want to annex some swathes of eastern France (and no, that didnt just mean Alsace-Lorraine but more) for Lebensraum...
 
France maybe at an extreme stretch, if Hitler grows even more glory-mad after such a total victory (which as we all know is unlikely, but let's just assume it happened for the sake of argument). But Britain? Even if he did do it after a session of hardcore glue sniffing with Goebbels and Himmler, virtually the entire population would riot.

IIRC, there were plans to annex the Lowlands, French Flanders, the rest of Lorraine and a bit of Reims. Scandinavia is a definite. They were the most pure Aryans, after all.
 
Yeah, Hitler may take a land in the northeast, but most of France would be turned over to the Vichy government once the Nazi's feel secure.

That means Britian gives up, after that the USA couldn't do anything to Germany with no landing area and the Irish wouldnt let the US base troops/planes in their lands.

Obviously Russia would be beaten by this poin too.
