Hitler's plans for an Aryan racial empire were so important to him that he and the Nazis began to put their racial program into effect soon after the conquest of Poland. Heinrich Himmler, the leader of the SS, was in charge of German resettlement plans in the east. Himmler's task was to move the Slavic peoples out and replace them with Germans. Slavic peoples included Czech, Polish, Serbo-Croatian, Slovene, and Ukrainian. The resettlement policy was first applied to the land of western Poland. One million Poles were uprooted and moved to southern Poland. Hundreds of thousands of ethnic Germans were brought to colonize the German provinces in Poland. By 1942 two million ethnic Germans had been settled in Poland. The invasion of the Soviet Union made the Nazis even more excited about German colonization. Hitler envisioned a colossal project of social engineering after the war. German peasants would settle on the abandoned lads and "Germanize" them. Himmler told a gathering of SS officers that 30 million Slavs might die to achieve this plan.
