Where did the myth that "Hitler wanted to exterminate all Slavs" come from?

Ironically, it came up in a video about debunking myths of Red Army during WW2. But at 12:00mins in the video, the narrator pushes the idea that Hitler was determined to wipe out the Slavic people.

But how would that make any sense, considering that when Germany occupied Ukraine, they were already seen as liberators against the much more brutal Bolsheviks? German propaganda made sure to portray him as such.

In addition, there where Slavic battalions formed who were allowed to take the fight against Communism?

It wasn't even.. German General Helmuth von Pannwitz is proof that the 3º Reich was not against the Slavs. Known as The Last Knight of Europe, this general was responsible for leading the Russian Cossacks who fled from USSR, to fight against communists in the Balkan Peninsula, even though the Cossacks were not part of the German culture, von Pannwitz remained firm in preserving and defending them until the end of his life: “I was with the Cossacks in good times, and now I must remain with them in bad times. .”

It was in Mein Kampf?

The Slavs were an inferior people taking up valuable agricultural land which, if properly worked, could feed millions. Of course the Slavs' slovenly practices ensured that the land always underproduced. You know the reason Hitler started WWII was to seize the food-producing areas of the Soviet Union.

The Ukrainians had been brutally oppressed by the (mostly Jewish) commissars and would greet anyone with joy who put an end to their rule. The Nazis quickly disabused them of the idea that they were liberators by crushing their national movements.

The hilfis were only recruited as a last resort because the Germans were undergoing a manpower shortage. Before that, the Germans were driving them on death marches or starving them to death in POW camps (where the "camp" was an open field ringed by barbed wire and machine gun towers). It was only in '44, when they were clearly losing, that it really got off the ground with the Vlasov army and such.

Stop listening to obvious Jewish propaganda.

What, like Mein Kampf and Generalplan Ost?

Generalplan Ost is fake, you can find this out by paying attention when you're on the (((wikipedia))) page

Nowhere in Mein Kampf does Hitler talk about genociding slavs, something you'd also know if you read it. Maybe when you become literate you could try.
