>>213373007Both Nazis and Bolsheviks were avid propagandists. That's why this discussion is sullied. It's impossible to tell who was exaggerating more, but there is no denying the Soviets had a vested interested in hyping up the "Nazi evil" as well. Do you think they wanted Poles and Ukrainians to sympathize with them? Absolutely not, therefore: they want to kill you all. Germans said similar things about Jews and other groups.
Regardless, the Axis coalition was the most racially diverse of the war. You won't see much unique racial animus from Germans vs. the alternatives in WW2. Hitler had unique grievances with Jews/Bolsheviks due to the communist component and this was stronger than any remarkable racial hatred or goals.
