Spartanism shall rise. A new, more perfect way of life begins here.
First, the economy must be restructured. A new path has to be found to make the Reich whole again, and it is up to Herr Heydrich exactly what this path will look like.

Herr Heydrich will obviously focus on making the Reich's colonies take up the burden they have long slacked. If they are loyal, and bowed before Herr Heydrich's authority, then they will take the plan easily, with the careful guiding hand of the SS. If they are still disloyal, hiding abroad as they pretend to practice their stolen autonomy, they will be hunted, and when they are subdued they will be forced to accept this new vision. Either way, all will serve the Fatherland.
There is also some rumor in the SS that Heydrich and his inner circle may have found funding in other, less savory places. These voices claim that instead of bleeding the traitors in the Reichskommissariats dry, Herr Heydrich is actually planning on receiving his funding by taking control of, and expanding, the black market routes through the cowards in Brittany. This is obviously a lie, a disgusting thought held only by fools. Our glorious leader would never plan on such a thing.
Instead, we shall follow Herr Heydrich's planned 'Blood and Soil' initiative, a callback to the old propaganda that served us so well in the last war. The initiative focuses on the blood, the people of the colonies who do not serve the Reich despite their great obligations to their homeland, and the soil, the factories, the farms, the land. Both must be exploited in their own way.
For the blood, they may either join the military or the workforce. It is still up for debate whether the program should focus solely on those of pure German blood, or if some honorary Aryans may be permitted and allowed to prove themselves as German through the workforce or the military. If the former route is taken, then all will have to serve, with no choice in this matter, eventually leading to Herr Heydrich's 'One Child Policy', which will allow every German family to have one child to raise themselves, with all subsequent ones being considered party property, and when of an aged deemed sufficient, sent to toil in the military or the mines for their family.
In the latter route, the untermensch of the colonies will be allowed to prove their dedication to their new Fatherland thanks to the benevolent decree of their master in Germania. If they prove themselves, they may find salvation for their entire race, and they will surely work their hardest when they know their tribes and peoples are at the stake, depending on how hard they work.
For the soil, many decisions must be made. Factories must either be bought, in order to ensure the continuing function of the local economies without hiccup, or taken with force in order to prevent the Reich from ever again bending to the mongers of business. Workers must either be exported from the now pillaged homeland to help build and man these factories, or propaganda must be used to get every available worker toiling away for their homeland. Infrastructure must either be built up to equal that of the home front to encourage further development, or torn down to ensure a faster rebuilding back home. Finally, it must be decided what we shall do with the people of the colonies. Will Herr Heydrich reward those who work so hard for Germany, or will he crush them, ensuring those insidious vipers in the sands do not have a chance to bite?

With that finished, Herr Heydrich will also need to deal with the mess that has become German urbanization, and the people of the nation themselves.
Some things are unsalvageable, the Volkshalle for instance, the brainchild of a traitor and crumbling from the righteous bombardment Speidel and his traitors received in Germania, will need to be torn down. Likewise, the Reichstag, the scene of much of the fighting, will also need to be completely remodeled, and its facade shall be torn off to show the world our new, spartanist visage. After which, we shall march on the neighborhoods and avenues of the wealthy, and close them off for good. The mansions shall be replaced with much more practical constructions.
The monuments that fill Germania, war monuments, monuments to the workers, monuments to Hitler, monuments to German Kings and Emperors, monuments to victories and near defeats. They fill every avenue, courtyard and boulevard. Some are of insane scope and size, resources having been wasted on them when they were so dearly needed elsewhere. Herr Heydrich will have to decide whether to demolish these, and use their resources to rebuild the city and its surrounding suburbs, such as the Seelow Heights which was burned to the ground in the final offensive, or rebuild them, and build new monuments to celebrate Heydrich and the SS who saved Germany from its decadence.
When the streets have been rebuilt and cleaned, the workers will find new homes, assigned to each and every one to ensure there are no homeless and there are no poor. New, simpler architecture will ensure less supplies are used, and this plan will be copied to every single city across Germany. A new and better German city will arise, one that does not feed at the expense of the simple farmer, but one that is centered around industry, towards building a new Germany.
Further work will then need to be done on our construction plans, but also on the people. For construction, we will need to find new ways to make our buildings even more cheap than they were before. The more we remove, the more we may build. Why does the worker need an air conditioner, when the heat makes them stronger? Why do they need a television to waste their time and consume their minds when every worker receives a simple bookshelf filled with only the finest of party literature? Why even have homes at all, when all workers and their families can be housed in communal barracks like the soldiers they worship so. Why have privacy, when any good citizen has nothing to hide?
We shall bring the communities together, in a new glorious plan that ensures every man, woman and child in Germania is equal, and never let the petty restraints of wealth and class disunite Germany.
The people, like their buildings, will also be stripped down to their most bare essentials. Nobody should own jewelry, when the metals can be put towards greater uses for the Reich, nobody should own frilly, overly designed clothing, when militaristic designs and hardy and cheap fabrics can serve so much better. A new fashion will be created, one where everyone shall desire to wear the simplest, cheapest clothes, so that they can instead spend their wealth on things that matter for them and their family, or send it to the government to help fund their wonderful nation.
Finally, the industries of the Reich must be dealt with. And later, the slaves.

Factories will be torn apart so their infrastructure may be redistributed, to ensure all can perform at optimal levels instead of the richest succeeding and the poor failing. To help pay for our building up of all of these industrial yards, welfare and other such things that Germans have relied on to fund their debauchery will be cut, and a new lifestyle promoted, where pitiful leisure is discouraged and more time working is held on a brilliant pedestal. Heroes of labor, our Everyday Spartans.
The slaves will also be taken out of private hands and redistributed to where the Fatherland deems necessary. No German needs a personal servant to bring them their wine when that servant can be better used in the mines or on the battlefields, and all luxuries they helped provide will also be stripped away completely.
Likewise, these lazy fools will be dragged out and put to work. Criminals will now work on a single strike, if they ever dare break our laws again, accident or no, they will find themselves in a worker's camp along with the rest. If they decide to dissent against this, then they will see what happens to the traitors in the workforce, who dare sabotage their brethren who bravely toil for their prosperity.

With the preliminary work done, further must be done to ensure slave and worker both fulfill their duties. For the slaves, it will be made clear to them that there is no way out once they are in the camps, besides work. To ensure they do not cause unrest, however, we will show our benevolence. The slaves and their guards both shall enjoy the same amount of luxuries, the same quality of barracks, for in the spartan way of life, all are equal.
Through constant inspections of each and every camp, we will ensure that the slaves have nothing to complain of, as they and their watchers both are closely scrutinized to ensure the proper way of living is upheld. Let their guards be an example to their wards, so there may possibly be hope for those fools in the future.
Outside of the camps, the workers will get the same choice their brethren in the colonies made. They will work on the assembly line or the battle line, and if they fail to do those, on the firing line. Each worker will be watched by eagle eyed commissars ensuring that all work is kept at its highest possible capacity and that all workers are giving the entirety of their effort.
And we will also make them fear. They will know if they fail to perform at their maximum capacity, they will dispensary into the night with the sound of the helicopter blades of the Gestapo's new air squadrons. The camps will be hidden away from the public eye.
Those who go in? They will not come out.
