I came across this on another forum:

It's interesting how, in Stegura's map, Switzerland has been absorbed into the Reich, as well as the Netherlands and Belgium being amalgamated into a single German protectorate. Furthermore, I assumed Serbia would have remained under Croatian Ustaše control.

Then there's such a map, a bit more detailed about land distribution in the autonomous areas.

It strikes me that these maps get made up every few years or so, and reflect modern interests and factors. It's like people are trying desperately to convince people that Hitlerian Europe would have been wonderful, with so many modern day territorial conflicts foreseen and prevented before they even emerged. The details are never agreed on in any of these maps, like was Karelia to be given to Finland or not? Surely, if we had any decent records of future intentions of the Reich, these matters would be simple to establish. And yet they're not.
