Space Policy [Raumpolitik] by Rosenberg "The understanding that the German nation, if it is not to perish in the truest sense of the word, needs ground and söil for itself and its future generations, and the second sober perception that this soil can no more be conquered in Africa, but in Europe and first of all in the East—these organically determine the German foreign policy for centuries."
