I also do not want to downplay the harsh feelings between the two largest linguistic-ethnic groups in Europe. The fault line between the Oder river and environs is thousands of years old, its sand is littered with the bones of the bravest warriors of both sides.
David Irving's "Hitler's War" answered a question I always asked as to why Hitler rejected leibenstraum in Africa, it certainly would have been more efficient than alienating the entirety of Slavdom (millions of people who awaited liberation from the yoke of Bolshevism by stitching together swastika flags from their last tableclothe threads as the panzer divisions approached), who could add to his manpower to march into Moscow and hang Stalin up by the toes.
The German leibenstraum in Eastern Europe was too hard fought for and too many lives had been shed. As a "sunk cost" it was too emotional a theme to let go of. This is another theme that is developed in "Perun's War," and as much as I would like to see the possibility of a Slavic/German truce, in the spirit of Jan Sobieski and Vienna, I still remain skeptical.
Painting is "St. Elijah" by Nicholas Roerich. As many remember, Nicholas Roerich's works were touched upon in Evola's "Meditations on the Peaks."
St. Elijah became the storm "saint" of Orthodoxy, explicitly taken over from Perun after Slavic Christianization. Notice the familiar Indo-European themes: the warrior on the solar chariot, the 8 spoked wheel (like Buddha's Ariya 8 spoked dharma wheel), etc.
Perun, much like Thor and the Midgard Serpent, eternally battles the chthonic serpent "Veles" or "Volos."
Another theme developed in the novel.

'The Passing Of The Great Race' by M. Grant, to which we have referred in the past and which, quite oddly, is not mentioned once in 'Il Mito del Sangue', besides the intrisic overall quality and accuracy of the examination it offers of the history of the three main European races, is characterised by its ability to bring into light the close link between racial changes and political changes, the high level of interaction between these processes. For example, he quite rightly noted about the Nordic tribes that moved to Roman provinces after the fall of the Urbs, 'germanising' them :
"(...) incoming Nordics intermarried with the native populations and were gradually bred out, and the resurgence of the old native stock has proceeded steadily since the Frankish Charlemagne destroyed the Lombard kingdom, and is proceeding with unabated vigor to-day. This process has been greatly accelerated in western Europe by the crusades and the religious and Napoleonic wars. The world war, now in full swing with its toll of millions, will leave Europe much poorer in Nordic blood. One of its most certain results will be the partial destruction of the aristocratic classes everywhere in northern Europe. In England the nobility has already suffered in battle more than in any century since the Wars of the Roses. This will tend to realize the standardization of type so dear to democratic ideals. If equality cannot be obtained by lengthening and uplifting the stunted of body and of mind, it can be at least realized by the destruction of the exalted of
stature and of soul. The bed of Procrustes operates with the same fatal exactness when it shortens the long as when it stretches the undersized." http://www.jrbooksonline.com/PDF_Books/PassingOfGreatRace.pdf
F. Nietzsche was right to a large extent in claiming that modern Germans are not of the same bloodline as ancient Germans. As recalled by M. Grant, the whole German gentry or so was annihilaled in the Thirty Years' War.
Speaking of annihilation with respect to the Wendish crusade, two points should be underlined : first, the Christian army that was hired to wage this crusade was primarily composed of two peoples that, a few centuries earlier, had been christianised by the sword and whose leadership had been literally beheaded in the process : the Saxons and the Danes. Then, an hybrid German/Slavic culture emerged from it.
