Germany and Japan: A Study in Totalitarian Diplomacy 1933–1941 (International Scholars Forum)

We don't conduct eugenics (Rassenpflege) to establish a "pan-Aryan," "pan-Nordic" leagues of states, but to grant our people as many gifted, racially valuable, and capable people as possible. The foreign policy of the German people cannot be governed by a community of blood (Blutgemeinschaften), or racial ideology, which is as yet but partly understood by other people .... Foreign policy is never racially but always popularly ((volksmässig) conditioned.
