They had no problem with an invasion of Russia, China, and S.E Asia, which combined are surely no small amount of land nor people.
Germany fits easily into the size of Texas, and got pretty close to controlling all of Europe, as did Napoleon before him.
England is a tiny island and at one point controlled many other large countries.
Heck, even going back to antiquity, a single city-state Rome had a vast empire, which really only fell when the "barbarians" had upgraded from fighting naked with sticks to aquiring armor and steel weapons nearly as good as that of Roman infantry.
Germany and Japan never had to stage and cross an entire ocean to invade another country.
Just check your facts, that quote is not historically accurate.
