  Second World War (1940-1944)
Greater Germany's declaration of war upon the Soviet Union in May of 1941 didn't surprise the rest of Europe as much as it signalled Greater Germany's desire for expansion eastward, to fulfill Nazi ideology's plans for a vast eastern European colonial empire under German control.
The Greater German offensive was poorly planned -- the dictates of the Eastern Front kept the German army from transferring its experienced troops to the western invasions, while the post-assassination purges of the German officer corps left it incapable of the disciplined attacks that marked the German invasions of eastern Europe.
Greater Germany was destroyed -- Austria, Bavaria, and Saxony regained their independence, while even devastated Brandenburg was transformed into an independent republic, and the German population living to the east of the Oder and Western Neisse was expelled by enraged Poles.

West Germany recovered economically by the 1960s, being called the economic miracle (German term Wirtschaftswunder), which was kickstarted by the economic aid of the United States of America through the Marshall Plan, and upheld thanks to fiscal policy and intense labor, eventually leading to labor shortages.

The introduction, in September of 1941 of compulsory armbands marked with a yellow star for all surviving Jews in Greater Germany and Poland, signalled the beginnings of the deportations of Jews.
In response, Greater Germany invaded the Baltic States; Lithuania was annexed by Greater Germany and its Jews promptly deported to the Polish death camps, while Latvia was placed under Greater German military administration so that the Einsatzgrüppen could shoot Latvian Jews without fear of interruption.
