REgarding Hitler's thought's on Slav's, I suggest that you pick up "Hitler's Second Book : The Unpublished Sequel to Mein Kampf by Adolf Hilter". You can read an alternate translation at http://www.adolfhitler.ws/lib/books/zweites/zweites.htm.

Hitler wanted war with France

Pan Europe cannot be summoned to the solution of this problem, but only a Europe with free and independent national States whose areas of interest are divergent and precisely delimited. Only then can the time ripen for Germany, secured by a France pushed back within her own boundaries, and supported by her Army born anew, to lead the way toward the elimination of her territorial need. Once our Folk, however, will have grasped this great geopolitical aim in the east, the consequence will not only be clarity regarding German foreign policy, but also stability, at least for a humanly predictable time, will make it possible to avoid political insanities like those which ultimately entangled our Folk in the World War. And then we will also have ultimately overcome the period of this petty daily clamour and of the completely sterile economic and border policy.

I readily concede that Hitler thought that Britain would be an ally or at least neutral, based on his racial theories.

.why did we give Eastern Europe and China to the Communists? And if that wasn't our goal, what was the point of the whole tragic exercise?
We did not "give" anything to the communists. By 1945, the only way to dislodge the USSR would have been to invade it. We were not willing to fight then.
Teh Republica of China fell in 1948, not 1945. I will not defend Truman's failures here.

I will check out "Hitler's Second Book..." at the link you supplied. I do not dispute that Hitler considered Poles, Russians and other slavs as inferior.

Hitler wanted to reclaim the long disputed Alsace-Lorraine region, which France had taken after the German defeat in 1919; but I don't think that he would have gone to war with France specifically for that objective if he could have achieved his objectives in Poland and the east without war with France and Germany; it was France and Britain who declared war on Germany. I don't claim to be an expert here, but I did read the excellent articles in the 13th edition of the Encyclopedia Britannia, which had the history of the war up to about 1940. I will look at your link on this however.
