"Germany will either be a world power or will not be at all"

This quote reflects Adolf Hitler's belief that Germany's fate was to end up being a dominant world power, and that any other outcome was unacceptable. For Hitler, Germany's success hinged upon its capability to apply influence beyond its borders, to broaden its area, and to cultivate its military and financial strength. The phrase "will not be at all" suggests that Hitler saw Germany's fate as either among excellent power and success or one of total destruction and irrelevance. This quote highlights the severe and uncompromising nature of Hitler's vision for Germany, in addition to his determination to pursue any methods necessary in order to achieve that vision.
