I was reading about the German plans for the occupation of the UK on Wikipedia. What I was surprised to see is that contrary to the alleged Anglophilia of the Nazis their actual plans for Britain post-war were extremely brutal.
For example, I saw that all men ages 17-45 were to be deported to the continent where they would probably made into slave labourers. This is an assumption, perhaps they would have been exterminated.
What is most surprising is that apparently Himmler had the desire to see 80 percent of the French and British populations exterminated by the SS after German victory in the war. If one is to read the Wikipedia article they can see that this is sourced.
I will link to the section of the Wikipedia article where this can all be found:

Why was Hitler considered an Anglophile when there were plans to kill off the British population?
