Oh, I was referring to Slavs as a whole, but Belarussians are seen as an extension of Russia, and are “bastards of Nordic blood with Slavic removed”.

It’s completely race science bullshit.

Belarus was also supposed to be the center and launching point of General Plan Ost. So all Belarussians needed to be exterminated to make room.

Belarus also put up an insane amount of resistance during occupation, they were particularly despised, and a MP assignment to Belarus was seen as a death sentence by many Germans.
