Germany launched World War II with a delusional desire to rule the world, but the end result was a complete defeat, a complete defeat, but looking back, if Germany had won World War II, how would Hitler have ruled the occupied territories? In order to facilitate the management of the various occupied areas, Germany has set up military administrative regions, governors' districts, imperial regions and puppet regimes, in addition to the establishment of the Eastern Occupation Zone Affairs Department, which divides the rule after the occupation of the Soviet Union in detail.
In 1944, the area under the de facto control of Germany.

As for Norway, the Norwegian crown did not announce its surrender and fled directly to Britain to form an exile** to support the Norwegians in their resistance, so Germany directly occupied Norway and established the Norwegian Viceroyalty.

It is worth mentioning that after Italy surrendered to the Allies, Germany invaded Italy and occupied many parts of Italy, including South Tyrol and Trieste, while the Italian puppet states of the Kingdom of Albania and the Protectorate of Montenegro also became German puppet states.
Uniquely French
After the surrender of France, the original French Alsace region was annexed by Germany, the northern part of France was occupied by Germany, and the southern part of the country was established to fall to Germany, but Vichy France did not actually declare war on the Allies, they chose military neutrality, not to fight against the Allies or the Axis powers, but after Operation Torch, the Vichy France ** team intended to join the Allies, which led to the German operation to occupy the whole of France.
Vichy France. Establishment of the Ministry of Affairs of the Occupied Territories in the East
In March 1941, Germany was plotting to attack the Soviet Union, and set up a new department for the occupation zone of Eastern Europe to manage, after detailed planning, on July 17, 1941, Hitler ordered the formal establishment of the Eastern Ministry, initially Hitler planned to occupy Moscow before announcing the news, but because the plan to attack Moscow was frustrated, he had to choose November 17 and 18 to announce the news, and appointed Rosenberg, the head of the Foreign Policy Office, as the Minister of the East.
The Eastern Ministry planned to set up five governors in the eastern occupation zone, namely the Ostland Governorate, the Ukrainian Governorship, the Moscow Governorate, the Caucasus Governorate, and the Don Volga Governorate.
The Reich of Hitler's dreams.
Rosenberg, the Minister of the East, was the administrator, and he intended to rule in a moderate way, with the aim of portraying the Germans as liberators of the occupied territories, but because of the expansion of the war and the shortage of resources in Germany, Hitler ordered the governors of the territories to rule under high pressure, plundering the economy and resources of the occupied territories, expelling and enslaving the people of the occupied territories, forcing them to work in construction, agriculture and mining, and transporting up to five million people from the occupied territories to work in Germany.
Viceroyalty of Ukraine
On July 17, 1941, Germany invaded the Soviet Union and soon occupied the Ukrainian region, the breadbasket of the Soviet Union, where the Viceroyalty of Ukraine was established, which included the area of modern Ukraine, and its Middle East Galicia was included in the Polish Governorship. The land between the South Bug and Transnistrian rivers was assigned to Romania. Later, in order to ensure the transportation of its own timber ** and railways and waterways, Germany divided the southern regions of Belarus into the Ukrainian Governorate for administration.
Viceroyalty of Ukraine
Governorate of Austland
On July 18, 1941, Germany announced the establishment of the Austerland Governorate in the three Baltic states under its control and parts of Belarus, including present-day Estonia, Latvia, and parts of Lithuania and Belarus.
Moscow Governor-General's District
In Hitler's plan, the Moscow Governor-General included the Ural Mountains and most of the Soviet Union on the borders of Finland, the Baltic States, Belarus and Ukraine. The Caucasus of the Soviet Union was established as a separate Caucasus Governorate, and then the rest of the southern part of the Soviet Union was assigned to the Ukrainian Governorate, which could be extended to the east, and the remaining Pskov, Smolensk and Leningrad, as well as East Karelia and the Kola Peninsula, would be assigned to Finland.
The capital of the Moscow Governorate was tentatively designated as Moscow, and the plan was to raze Moscow to the ground to eliminate the resistance and prevent Moscow from becoming the center of Soviet resistance in the future.
Caucasus Governorate
The plan included Transcaucasia and South Caucasus, as well as parts of Russia south to the Volga, with Tbilisi in Georgia, and Hitler intended to establish a number of pro-German puppet states in the Caucasus Governorate, including Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia, but he wanted to give them to Turkey in exchange for him as an ally of the Axis powers and then work together against the Soviet Union.
The Viceroyalty of the Caucasus, next to Turkey.
Don Volga Governorate
The scope of the Don Volga Governorate was from the Sea of Azov to the Volga German Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, and the capital was set in Rostov-on-Don, but because in May 1941, Hitler felt that there were too many Eastern Governorates, so he canceled the Don Volga Governorate and assigned these places to the Ukrainian Governorate and the Caucasus Governorate for management.
Note: The Volga German Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was once an autonomous republic in the Soviet Union, with Germans, Russians, Kazakhs, and Ukrainians as the main ethnic groups, but after the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, Stalin declared all Germans enemies and abolished this autonomous republic on August 28, 1941.
Turkestan Governorate District
This was Rosenberg's planned Governorate before Operation Barbarossa, which included the five Soviet republics of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan in Central Asia, as well as Altai, Tatarstan and Bashkortostan as part of the Turkestan Governorate.
Turkestan Governorate District
But this plan was opposed by Hitler, who believed that Rosenberg's efforts should be focused on the European part of the Soviet Union and refused to establish such a governorate.
The above is the division of the ruling area that Germany has established and planned, it can be said that Germany's ambition is very large, he wants to completely control Europe, as long as he controls Europe, the colonies in Europe will also be his, and at the same time, in order to ensure its own resources and food, Germany launched the Barbarossa plan to invade the Soviet Union, which collapsed in the Soviet Union and finally failed completely.
