>Pre-war the, I think foreign office, published statements that included slavs as part of the Aryan group. During the war there were at least cases of children being intended for germanization.

While that is true (and kidnapping of Polish children with German features like blond hair was rampant btw), I was speaking specifically in regards to recruitment (voluntary or otherwise) into the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS. Poles at the start of the were off-limits with the exception of ethnic Germans on the Volksliste (pic related). Later in the war, the Wehrmacht reversed this policy somewhat and did conscript some Poles into its ranks, but they were still forbidden from forming their own ethnic formations like how Ukrainians (Galicia division) and Croats/Bosnians (Handschar division) did and regarded as untrustworthy.
