I believe the reason it's associated with the Nazi party is because it was part of Hitler's explanation of why they needed to annex Poland. It's associated (somewhat sinisterly) in English with the concept of room to breathe or stretch out. Or with the more colloquial phrase "all I want is the land next to mine."
