It is a reasonable view. There are a few issues with that. Europe is way more expansive than is initially portrayed .... German expansion looked towards 2 issues:

Uniting the Aryans in one realm: Flanders, Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Austria, parts of Hungary. etc.

It is somewhat of a replay with the Kingdom of Prussia, after the 30 years war, trying to build up a population and sustainable agriculture. Potatoes were a real gift. Also consider Otto von Bisarck' s policies ... Consider also: Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation ....

It is easy to lose view based on moral consideration fueled by current propaganda.

Add to this Ukraine, and Russia up to the Wolga. https://www.blackseagr.org/maps.html

When it comes to France, the Iberian Peninsula, Italian Peninsula, Illyrica, etc there was no interest.

Interestingly, when it came to the question of adding The Netherlands to the Great German Reich in 1942/1943, there was interest in doing so, but it was considered not possible due to the general way of thinking of the Dutch. But there was confidence that, after a decade or so, people would be far enough along, to vote yes in a plebiscite.

And Lebensraum, was not based on extinction per se, but on letting the locals do what they do best, as these people were so backward, that anything with an engine was considered magic. (think holocaust stories).

The UK, especially the ruling class, had nothing but contempt for East-Europeans. Because in truth, these people were backward. A bit akin to those people of the Cargo Cult. Or even today, some people still live according to the ways of their ancestors. A couple of years ago I witnessed a Somali woman buying a french fried at the local train station. I could see she had just arrived. At the moment of payment, she did not know what to do, looked at all the devices at the counter in bewilderment, and when she finally had paid and was given the receipt, she stood there flabbergasted.

Technological advanced is indistinguishable from magic. We often forget to take that into account when considering the events of the past.

In 1940/1941, and notice that France was split in two for obvious reasons, a peace proposal was made in which France, the Benelux countries and Poland would be set up again, the German army would retreat behind the Rhine, and reparations would be paid by Germany. And UK said no.

added: When TTIP failed .... the WEF came up with the 4th industrial revolution in which Ukraine functions as the breadbasket under control of the same entities who wanted TTIP, while their .gov infiltration got into high gear ....

This too is an issue warranting further consideration. Why? Because TTIP would have created an extra-territorial business environment for big money and business. Who would benefit? Money-launderers, traffickers, the same group behind the WEF.
