Usually the upper leadership would invent some bullshit about certain Slavs actually being Slavisized Aryans so conceal their blatant political hypocrisy. Some Slavs (Czechs, Slovenes) were subjected to ethnocidal assimilation but not outright exterminated. However, Poles, Russians, and Belarusians were subjected to genocide in order to eliminate them as a population competing with the planned German settlement.
The presence of Slavic units within the SS at a time when Germany was extremely desperate for manpower is not proof that Hitler was secretly a Slav-lover, in contrast with his well-documented statements about their subhuman nature. The extremely high fatality rate of Soviet and Polish POWs in contrast with western POWs, use of Slavs as slave labor, and Slavic presence in concentration camps, alongside the well-documented plans of exterminating Poles and the East Slavs for purposes of colonizing their land, however, does.
