New Order (Neo ordnung)is the name used to denote the political, economic, and social system which the Nazis hoped to establish in Europe in the 1930s and 1940s. The establishment of the New Order was announced by Adolph Hitler in 1940. The New Order meant German hegemony of Europe. The long range plan, as detailed by Hitler in Mein Kampf, was the annexation of large eastern territories for German settlement (and the extermination or enslavement of their Slavic and Jewish populations) eventually up to the Ural Mountains. Implementation of the long range plan for the New Order was begun on 22 June 1941 with Operation Barbarossa--the invasion of Russia. By 1942 the military regimes called the General Gouvernment in Poland, the Reichskommissariat Ostland in the Baltic states and White Russia, and the Reichskommissariat Ukraine in Ukraine had been established. Nazi party "philosopher" Alfred Rosenberg was the Minister for the Eastern Territories in charge of the project, and Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS, was assigned to implement the enslavement and extermination of the non-Aryan population. The project was renounced at the end of 1944[citation needed].
