Summary/Abstract: In Hitler’s Mein Kampf, in the public appearances of this politician and even more so in his intimate discussions in the circle of the closest friends we can find the traces of an idea about the creation of a unique economically and organically linked European space, which would be under domination of the German Third Reich and based on the ideological concept of the race that would surpass the divisions among the nations. The Arian white nations of the common Indo-European origins would be making up that community of people, which was seen by Hitler as a way to overcome the at that time existing fragmentation of the continent. After the Tripartite Pact was signed on 27 September 1940 in Berlin, it seemed as if the vague ideas have came to the point of their realization: according to the pact Germany was supposed to get control over the greatest part of Europe, Italy over the Mediterranean and Japan over the Far East. Although the Great Britain was on the opposite side in the war, it was supposed to retain control over its colonial territories while the United States, which at that time had not yet entered the war but had been firmly supporting the Great Britain, were left with the possibility to preserve its domination over the American continent. However, even in the periods when it seemed that his war military undertakings are evolving in the direction he was streaming at, Hitler had never commenced realization of such an demanding pan.
