Hitler’s endgame was to destroy the USSR and kill every last Slav. France, Britain, and the US were mere nuisances to Hitler when it came to his overall goals. His focus was always to wipe out the Jews and Communists. You could not talk him out of invading Russia.

Truth.

And where did you get this? Hitler had favorable relations with Slovakia, Croatia, and Bulgaria, all Slavic states. He had favorable relations with Yugoslavia in general until the government was overthrown in 1941 and the Communist partisan war was carried out there by Tito. The Handschar Division of the Waffen-SS included Muslim Bosnian Slavs. The Russian Liberation Army consisted of anti-Communist Russians fighting in collaboration with Germany against the Soviets. The Ukrainians likewise formed a Slavic SS Division. Slavs were absolutely considered apart from the Germanic "Volksdeutsche" but the notion that there was some plan to exterminate the Slavic peoples is utterly false.

A willingness to subject large portions of the Slavic population, particularly in Western Russia, to starvation and extreme privation in order to first and foremost sustain the food requirements of the Wehrmacht in the Soviet campaign is however quite true. A plan for Slavic extermination though is fanciful and easily debunked.
