Plenty of Slavic types, considered untermenchen, as well.

Hitler really screwed up on that one. He could have had most of the ethnic Ukrainians on his side, if he’d played it right politically. They knew about the Holodomor, hated Stalin and the Russians. It could have made a material difference on the Eastern Front if Hitler had treated them like liberated allies.

Ukrainians were used as guards at the death camps, probably the most famous of which, was John Demjanjuk.
