- repressive police ? yes, against communists
- racial superiority ? not at all : racial
purity, without hate for other races
- anti-semitism ? of course, they had several reasons
- expand territory ? no, only get the german territories they lost with Versailles treaty, and their ancient colonies, that's all.

Oppressed and massacred German minorities in Poland, Germany cut in two parts, Poland refusing negotiations = sufficient to invade Poland to get what they historically and ethnically had the right to have.

Le 26 mars 1939, l'ambassadeur polonais à Berlin avait clairement répondu à Ribbentrop :
"Toute poursuite de ces projets allemands, notamment en ce qui concernait le retour de Dantzig au Reich, signifierait la guerre avec la Pologne."
