What connection would this have to war crimes or the Holocaust, as restructuring a conquered nation isnt really in either category? Their plans for the Jews are well known, presumably you mean for everyone else?

similar thread was opened there
http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic. ... 2&t=219660
France and the Jews were the two hitlerian obsessions, wanted to destroy the first as military political power and the second as human group, so grosso modo converted her as a kind of great Switzerland military neutralised ceasing irrevocably to be a threat and rival for Germany

Were there any plans for the Germanisation of France?

Were ethnic French people going to be expelled and France be repopulated by Germans?

Were sexual relations between the French and Germans forbidden?

Since this topic does not deal with either distinct war crimes or the holocaust, I'll move it to a more appropriate section of the forum - DT.

No coherent plans. Some nazis proposed some rather wild ideas, but none of that was adopted as official policy

Other than the Alsace & Lorraine provinces no. There was no resettlement program as there was in Poland, or regions further east.
