[[Adolf Hitler]] and the [[Nazi Party]] regarded Slavic peoples (especially Poles and [[East Slavs]]) as non-Aryan "[[Untermenschen]]" (subhumans). As early as 1925, Hitler suggested in "[[Mein Kampf]]" that the German people needed "[[Lebensraum]]" ("living space") to achieve German expansion eastwards ("[[Drang nach Osten]]") at the expense of the inferior Slavs. Hitler believed that "the organization of a Russian state formation was not the result of the political abilities of the Slavs in Russia, but only a wonderful example of the state-forming efficacity of the German element in an inferior race."
