Describe three things that Hitler did in the lands that he occupied in World War ll

Once Adolf Hitler's Nazi troops attacked and overtook a land, the direction they received from Nazi leadership was to ensure that the German military retained a stronghold on the land. The military did this by quashing any possibility of resistance. In essentially every land that Hitler conquered, the following three things would occur:

• Raiding of supplies: As soon as Nazi troops overtook a region or land, the troops made a practice out of scavenging for items and supplies that could strengthen and fortify them. This scavenging for items included gathering food, taking raw materials, and obtaining war stocks. 

• Forced servitude: Many of the people and political leaders who lived in the areas that were overtaken were subsequently shipped off to Germany to work in concentration camps. Those who weren't sent to Germany often were instead required to work for the German military in local areas by working on military construction projects. As has been well documented, millions of deaths occurred in Nazi concentration camps in the 1930s and 1940s.

• Destruction of cultural items: One of the ways that the German military was able to quash the spirits of those in the lands they overtook was by stripping the overthrown country of its cultural significance. German troops would destroy art, topple statues, burn churches, and level public buildings.
