The Germans hated the Slavs. They were considered "inferior". There was a WWII program on TV (History Channel) showing that as the German army progressed through Russia they killed every Slav peasant they could - old men, women and children.
Since the reason Germany wanted Russia was primarily for its oil fields in the south, I think they would have concentrated on controlling that area and milking Russia of any natural resources. If they were smart they would have killed Stalin. However, they would also have killed just as many if not more Russians, especially peasants, as Stalin did, just more efficiently. Slave labor and concentration camps were their preferred way of controlling "undesirables". And they would not have minded bombing whole cities into submission.

Couldn't happen. The Germans brutalized the soviets, and the soviets had been historically extremely nationalistic. On top of this, only the russians where considered white, but the rest of the bulk of the soviet forces where from all areas of asia. Even if the soviet leadership had thrown the towel, the end result would had been a new civil war which would have spilled eastward.
As they moved east, the soviet forces would start running into the concentration and extermination camps (most soviets had no clue about their own Katyn forest massacre) so this would just fuel up the hatred against the Germans.

I don't think Germany would have had the resources to do much of anything with the Russian people, they had proved that they were willing to fight to the last man , women and child with the battle of Stalingrad, so you are also assuming that the rest of Europe and the US just packed up and went home, all the Slav countries would have been a constant source of rebellion, look at the Warsaw uprising , starving people with no conventional weapons took on the German army and tens of thousands died for just a slim chance at freedom. I don't think Germany would have been able to anything like a finale solution with the Russian people.

Nazi Germans wanted to wipe out all peoples that they considered genetically less good than themselves. That included all Slavic people which in turn included all Russian people. Ever heard of concentration camps? This is where they put the civilian prisoners of war. They were planning to keep them as slaves, eventually killing them all.

You figure it out. Russians and Germans hate each other, at least they did during and before WWII. The Russians abused Germans the had captured and vice versa. I think there would have been slaughter and scorched earth.

They would have freed them from communism and they would have joined the European union 65 years ago.Russians are mostly blond - blue eyed people.Slavic people are considered "Aryans".

What they didn't kill they would have turned into a sort of slave-labor force.

They would have probly made them all slaves and sold them, or they would have killed them all.
