living space

living space
   conquered territory
   The Nazi German Lebensraum to be annexed from Poland, Russia, and others — 'to obtain by the German sword sod for the German plough':
    Lebensraum which should have meant 'living-room' but actually signified the occupation of Europe and as much of Russia as Hitler had been able to lay his hands on. (Sharpe, 1979)
   Even more sinister was the Nazi policy of Lebensborn, under which fair Polish or Czech children were taken from home and placed with German families to be raised as Germans and thus augment the Teutonic stock.
