Adolf Hitler’s Plan for Conquest of Europe and Asia Revealed in Maps Seized in Raid on Nazi Headquarters
Invasion of France in 1941 Seen Launching World War
One Race, One Nation, One Leader
—is a literal translation of the words across the top of this chart of Hitler’s plans for world domination. The words “Fruhjahr” and “Herbst” appearing alternately beside each map mean “Spring” and “Fall” of the years indicated. The shaded portions denote each new acquisition of territory.
Greater Germany, 1938-1948
—is the label Hitler attaches to the Nazi state encompassing most of Europe and part of Asia. Dark areas mark Germany of today. Lighter shading indicates territory to be conquered. Territory in pink is ceded to Mussolini. Gibraltar is NOT in pink—lending significance to the line—“Germany, Germany over all.”

All Europe and Western Asia under Complete Subjugation
Great Britain a German Colony by 1948
Proof of Adolf Hitler’s aim to dominate all Europe and part of Asia—as outlined in Mein Kampf—is presented in a Nazi propaganda map published for the first time on these pages.
This map reveals Hitler’s intention to convert Great Britain into a province of the Reich, smash France, colonize Russia, and forge a colossal German Empire stretching from Ireland to the Urals by 1948.
World war is indicated for 1941, the year Der Führer expects to take France and Belgium.
Mussolini is to be Hitler’s temporary partner in this looting. According to the map, he will give Italy some Mediterranean territory and share Spain. But Hitler firmly intends to keep Il Duce bottled up in “his sea” by retaining Gibraltar, mighty fortress guarding the western entrance.
This bold plan is clearly revealed in the map, which was discovered by Czech police during a raid on Henlein (Nazi) party headquarters last September at the height of the Czechoslovakian crisis.
Two weeks later, just as the map predicted, Hitler annexed the Sudetenland, key to Czechoslovakia, and has now overrun the entire country.
Surreptitiously circulated among Nazi agents in foreign countries, the map not only earmarks the countries doomed for German conquest, but indicates precisely the season and year of their annexation.
Exactly according to this battle timetable, Hitler seized Austria on March 11, 1938. (The map indicates “Austria—Spring, 1938”.)
In the autumn of that year Czechoslovakia fell—just as the map foretold.
For this year—1939—Hungary and Poland are scheduled for absorption! (Hitler has already taken Memel and his threat to Poland has become so serious that Premier Chamberlain has taken the unprecedented step of guaranteeing her Britain’s unconditional military aid in the event of German aggression.)
During 1940, Jugosiavia, Roumania and Bulgaria are due for the Nazi sledgehammer. (Its shadow is already cast over Roumania, which Germany has just forced into signing a harsh trade agreement putting her at the economic mercy of the Reich.)
If all this will not have already precipitated a general war in Europe, conflagration is certainly indicated for the spring of 1941.
The northern half of France and Switzerland, as well as Belgium, Holland and Denmark, are earmarked by Hitler on this map. This of course means war. It is an axiom of British foreign policy never to let Germany dominate northern France, the Channel ports and Low Countries.
Then Europe’s great prize—the Russian Ukraine, granary of two continents—is to fall before the swastika in the autumn of 1941. In Mein Kampf, Hitler warned he would do this, and this map now tells us the date.
Between 1941 and 1948, the British Isles, Scandinavia, Portugal, Spain, the rest of Russia up to the Ural mountains and the greater part of Asia Minor are doomed to dissolve into the Greater German Empire. So Hitler adds “Berlin to Belfast” to the Kaiser’s famous “Berlin to Bagdad” which made him lose the last World War.
Out or all this Mussolini gets quite a share of the swag. Hitler eaves him the southern (poorer) parts of Spain, France and Switzerland, and the economically pitiful countries of Albania, Greece and Turkey. The Balearic Islands (now “Spanish”) are thrown in for good measure. Corsica, the birthplace of Napoleon, and now French, is tossed along, possibly to satisfy the Duce psychologically if not materially.
Thus Hitler’s great dream—reiterated throughout Mein Kampf and engraved on this map of conquest—is finally realized: “Deutschland, Deutschland über Alles!”—“Germany, Germany over all!”
Generalissimo Franco, it should be noted, is destined for complete oblivion. Having “saved Spain” with the help of Hitler and Mussolini, that strife-torn country is to be partitioned between his former allies.
This map, it should be noted, stops with the Atlantic Ocean on the west, and the Ural mountains in Asia on the east. Will Hitler—who speaks always of world domination in Mein Kampf—be satisfied with the entire Continent of Europe and a mere half of Asia?
Many dazzling questions are left unanswered by this map. Possession of the Suez Canal, key to the East and England’s great colonial and African Empire, is left unsettled, possibly as a bone of contention between Hitler and Mussolini for the future.
With Russia conquered, Hitler now moves uncomfortably close to Japan, Germany’s present ally. The Japanese now rate in Germany as “Saviours” from Bolshevism in the East. But if Hitler reaches Vladivostok, will he suddenly find the Japanese an “inferior race”?
And, finally, will Hitler turn his eyes towards the United States—richest country on the face of the earth? Nazi penetration into South and Latin America has already caused serious alarm. He has made at least two concrete attempts to seize territory there: the Nazi-inspired “Integralist” uprising in Brazil and a similar plot in Pategonia,—as recently as March 31st, 1939.
Will American Secret Service men unearth another Nazi map clocking the swatiska’s domination—country by country—of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere?
Excerpts from “Mein Kampf” Disclose Hitler Wair Aims
The Nazi propaganda maps reproduced on these pages constitute new, supplementary evidence of Hitler’s intentions toward the rest of the world.
But for fully fifteen years his purposes have been just as plainly outlined in the words of his book, Mein Kampf.
None but the blind could have failed to discern his meaning in such expression as the following, selected from his text:
   We Nazis … must secure for the German people the soil which is due them on this earth. *** Our forbears were not handed German soil from Heaven—not even that upon which we live to-day—and only the conquering sword will bring us territory in the future. *** I bitterly oppose those … who claim that such an acquisition of soil “violates sacred human rights.” *** To-day there are 30,000,000 Germans in Europe.
   Only that foreign policy is correct which leads us to the point where, a century from now, 250,000,000 Germans live on this continent, not jammed together as factory slaves for the rest of the world, but as workers and peasants living productively together. *** The everlasting enemy of the German people is and remains France.
   We recognize the necessity for a reckoning with France, but our foreign policy must not concern itself only with that. Settlement with France has significance only if it protects us in the rear while we turn to enlarge our European territory.
   When we speak to-day of new territory in Europe, fundamentally we can think only of Russia and her subjugated border states. *** Only a potent sword can bring lost soil back into a common Reich—protest can never win anything. The forging of this sword is the duty of the national leaders who must, as a part of this task, seek allies.
   War is the aim of every alliance which is not foolish and worthless.
Map Discovery Suppressed in England
What would the people of Great Britain and France—of Czechoslovakia, Russia and the whole civilized world—have done if publication of the revealing maps on this page had not been suppressed at a crucial moment on the personal initiative of Prime Minister Chamberlain a few hours before he flew to Munich?
Would the British and French people have risen in their wrath—as they did when the Hoare-Laval plans were prematurely “broken” by the press thus—preventing Chamberlain from flying to Munich and negotiating that fateful Pact?
Would Czechoslovakia have been spared the dismemberment of one-third of her territory, an operation which led inevitably to her complete disappearance in March of this year?
Would Chamberlain have been forced by his electorate to cancel his fight to Munich—come what might—or to go there armed with the grim determination of his people never to submit to the prospect of perpetual force?
Speculation, as intriguing and fascinating as it may be, cannot proceed without first eetablishing the facts.
The maps were furnished to us by Mr. Jonathan Griffin, British writer and authority on international affairs and defense problems, who was in Prague up to the end of 1938. On September 16th, at the height of the crisis, the Czech Government declared the Sudetan German (Nazi) Party illegal, and closed its offices throughout Czechoslovakia. Raiding the Nazi offices in Hibernska St., Prague, a few days later, the police seized several hundred copies of this map and turned them over to the Czech Foreign Office. Considering it vital that public opinion in England be aroused by knowledge of the German dictator’s real intentions, the Czech Foreign Office turned the maps over to Mr. Griffin on September 28th. This was one day before Chamberlain left for Munich.
Griffin moved heaven and earth to get copies of the map to London on the 28th for publication. He sent them with a trusted agent, who made a special trip by plane to Gerald Barry, editor of the important Liberal paper, “News Chronicle” (circulation of 1,500,000) and a personal friend of Griffin’s. The editors (on the evening of the 28th) prepared a huge front page layout of the map with a leading article explaining its significance.
Then Sir Walter Layton, owner of the “News Chronicle”, turned up at the offices and saw the map. He rang up the Prime Minister, Chamberlain suppressed it! Meanwhile the historic House of Commons debate had taken place that day, cut short by Chamberlain’s dramatic announcement that he was flying to Munich. He left the morning of the 29th; the Munich pact—delivering the core of Europe to Hitler—was negotiated that evening and signed in the small hours of the 30th.
A few weeks later, Geoffrey Mander, Liberal Member of Parliament, saw Griffin in Prague and was told the story of Chamberlain’s suppression. He intended to reveal it to the House of Commons in a special debate on press and radio censorship to take place on December 7th. The morning of the debate, Sir Walter Layton telephoned Mander requesting him not to mention it in the House.
What might have been the course of events had publication of that map not been suppressed at a critical moment can only be hazarded. Censorship is always a dangerous business. Certainly England—and the world at large—is finally waking up to Hitler’s real intentions, and Chamberlain appears at last to have drawn a line over which Der Fuhrer cannot step without a fight.
