Provide one piece of evidence that Hitler used to support his plan to invade Poland and explain HOW it supports

Here is the supplementary material that I was given for the question>

Our strength consists in our speed and in our brutality. Genghis Khan led millions of women and children to slaughter – with premeditation and a happy heart. History sees in him solely the founder of a state. It’s a matter of indifference to me what a weak western European civilization will say about me. I have issued the command – and I’ll have anybody who utters but one word of criticism executed by a firing squad – that our war aim does not consist in reaching certain lines, but in the physical destruction of the enemy. Accordingly, I have placed my death-head formations in readiness – for the present only in the East – with orders to them to send to death mercilessly and without compassion, men, women, and children of Polish derivation and language. Only thus shall we gain the living space (lebensraum) which we need. Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?


-The text above, written by Adolf Hitler, is the English version of the German document handed to Louis P. Lochner in Berlin. This version was published by Kevork B. Bardakjian, Hitler and the Armenian Genocide (Cambridge,

Massachusetts: The Zoryan Institute, 1985).
