Suppose Hitler had genocidal views against not just Jews, Gypsies, and Homosexuals, but on all non-Germans. This can be done by making him many times more fanatical in his beliefs of German racial superiority, many times more bitter over the way Germany was treated after World War I, and get him to look down on all other peoples, even white people, as inferior and deserving of extermination.

So let's say that Hitler's plan involves not just conquering Europe (and later the world), but exterminating it and making it Aryan-only. So more concentration camps are built, and everyone who is not German is sent there. That includes Allied POWs. Across Europe, and in Russia and North Africa, there is full-on genocide against everyone. The Nazis attempt to hide it as best they can, especially from their allies, but when Italy is occupied, the Germans go genocidal on the local population as well.

So the Germans carry out a total scorched-earth policy, raping, burning, and killing as they advance. Entire towns and villages are depopulated and burned or razed. Cities are burned and depopulated, with their population shipped to concentration camps where most are gassed immediately on arrival, and some being chosen for work before being killed (similar to Treblinka).

So what are the effects of Hitler being even more batshit crazy than he was?
