    On short term the Nazis may have profited, but on the long term, all the potential talents were killed and brain drain occurred even before the war.

      Absolutely. The nazis would have destroyed everything. George Orwell in his review of Mein Kampf noted that the only thing that Hitler seemed to have in mind for German culture is literally taking over land, breeding a new generation of soldiers for them to to go war again and again and again. Just a repeat of that. No culture, no real anything other than spreading themselves far and wide.
