The two reasons why the Germans did not bother feeding the people in Russia which they had conquered was because....
1. They themselves did not have enough food for themselves (even with the capture of Ukraine which they stripped of virtually all livestock,wheat and winter clothing).
2. Whats the reason for wasting your own limited supply of food and/or housing for the very same people who you are later going to enslave or exterminate?
So unless you are the owner of a farm the size of the mid west and have the ability to over ride Hitler's cleansing policy's in the East, I do not see how you would accomplish this.
Everything else you mentioned above, the Germans did.
