Berlin Diary: The Journal of a Foreign Correspondent, 1934-1941 by William L. Shirer
4.0

p. 583 . “..it means more of the milk and honey of this world for them. That it will of necessarily be obtained at the expense of other peoples — Czechs, Poles, Scandinavias, French - does bot bother the Germanin the least. On this he has no moral scruples whatsoever”
