WI: The Nazis treated other Western/Northern Europeans as "Untermenschen"?

Let's say there is a "slight" change in Nazi ideology, that the "true Aryans" are just the Germans, and thus the Nazis were ended up treating the French, Belgians, Dutch, Luxembourgians, Danes, Norwegians, etc, as "Untermenschen", sending them to death camps, gas chambers, etc, just like the Eastern Europeans.

How will this affect the WWII?
 
Not even put them into forced labour? They'd give up industrial production in occupied countries, especially in civil goods which will completely piss off the already vehemently disgusted German population. Mind you, even in OTL they were reluctant to send Jews who worked in vital industries to their death.

This is an impossible scenario, completely against Nazi doctrine and even the thoroughly twisted Nazi equivalent of 'common sense'.
 
ASB because the officers, SS and others that the Nazi party deemed to be the most amoral and ruthless were sent to the Eastern Front. They would have had to pull significant SS resources and other scumbags from the Eastern Front to Western Europe and elsewhere (which the Nazis would not do) and if they tried it wouldn't have gone well at all.

The generals, Field Marshals, and others unwilling to mass slaughter civilians were sent to these areas (and Africa) rather then the Soviet Union for a very good reason. Hitler attempts this and you will see a much early attempted military coup against him.

The view during and after the war in the U.S. and England that the German Army (unlike the SS) was a mostly clean and honorable military force was that from Africa to late 1944 they were fighting soldiers often under the command of generals that were viewed by the Nazi leadership as too weak to fight the dirty war Hitler wanted fought in the East. Unlike the view of some today the Heer wasn't made up of all genocidal madmen and amoral child killers. If Hitler tried to force them all to be it wouldn't have gone well for him.

You had a funny situation in countries like France where Hitler asks French officials to round up Jews and deport them to Poland and local authories oblige. He asks his Field Marshal in Northern France to order his troops to do the same and is basically told to pound sand.
