Hitler hated the Polish because they were a very strong resistance to him and his Master Plan. The Polish are known for their courage and strong patriotism, something that Hitler viewed as a big obstacle to his plan of creating a Germanized world (and thus erasing Polish culture and tradition). Even before invading Poland, Hitler knew this, and had a special plan made to "deal" with the "Polish problem"- this included killing as many resistance members as possible, especially Polish intellectuals, as they were the first people most likely to form a resistance.
Himmler and Hitler didnt kill all Poles immediately: they would be categorized into several groups: the first were the Polish Jews and Poles with Jewish blood, which were immediately exterminated. Next were the intellectuals, dangerous because of their leadership characteristics, also to be exterminated immediately. The rest of the population were divided into Nordic-looking people and non-Nordic looking people. The latter was sent to forced labor and concentration camps. The Nordic looking Polish people were further divided into categories: those who resisted the Germanization (these were exterminated), and those that wanted to be a part of it. However, most Polish adults (over age of 18) were strongly against Hitler, and this is why Hitler exterminated them, despite their Aryan genetic values. Had the Poles allowed it, Himmler would have set up "Lebensborn" (meaning "Fountain of Life") centers in and around Poland, to serve as mating factories for Aryans. Such Lebensborn centers existed in Norway, as the Norwegians were less resistent to Hitler than the Poles. With the Polish resistance, however, the creation of such centers was not possible. The only solution to get the most out of this "valuable genetic blood" was to steal Aryan looking Polish babies, and to germanize them. Hitler believed that in taking these infants from their mothers, he was fulfilling the Aryan duty to "recuperate our own blood strewn across eastern europe and bring it back to the homeland - if they will not give it to us, we will steal it". Special Nazi units were trained to recognize Aryan Polish children (blond hair, light eyes, etc) and snatch them during the night or whenever. Some babies were even snatched from their mother's arms. As one Nazi officer put it: "When we see a Polish girl with blond hair and blue eyes, we cannot believe she is not speaking German. If she lived in Germany, she would be a beautiful German girl." It is reported that over 200,000 Polish children live in Germany today but are actually kidnapped children from Poland as babies during the war, and they don't even know it!
So Hitler hated Poles for their resistance, their Jewish population, their culture, and mostly because the Polish Aryans refused to become German.
