The Hossbach memorandum

5 Nov 1937 — In a four-hour secret conference, Hitler tells his service chiefs Germany must seize living space by force, by 1943–45 at the latest. His adjutant’s minutes become a key exhibit at Nuremberg.
This is one scene of Chapter 5 — The Rhineland Bluff and the Spanish Rehearsal in The Road to War, 1931–1941.
