The "growing room for our people" schtick was wartime propaganda in the later years.
I made a point about why he went into Poland, and you are confusing the timeline as conditions were completely different years later. The conflict snowballed out of control. As the war progressed it became clear that the Allies would not stop until Germany was utterly destroyed, and it was.

They were surrounded by hostile nations, so I don't think it was unreasonable to go on the offense knowing that the Soviets were mobilizing which was a threat to all of Europe. He knew a fully mobilized Russia would be unstopable, and he was right about that.

Remember that the Brits were the first to bomb civilian cities and germans only started this practice in retaliation. British bomber pilots have done interviews saying that they knew their orders were morally wrong.
