Read the book known as 1945. I liked how much I have read so far except I kinda peeked at the ending and it says TBC(To be countinued) and 1946 isn't out yet. So I will wait...

I think the idea is that if the Nazi's took Europe, they would eventually have had a stab at the US. and the saying is derived from the notion that once they had invaded, they would force the populace to speak German. oOo:
I could have sworn it was more self-explanatory than this
