Only with Germany's takeover of
Bohemia-Moravia in March 1939, the first time that Hitler conquered a non-German people, did the Nazis' long-term policies become clear, and even then few could envision the defeat of France or the invasion of Russia.

Bohemia-Moravia until his assassination in May 1942) indicates that extermination was the intention from the outset.
