It's  closer to  "one race",  in  the ultra-nationalist  sense that  the
German  people/race were  somehow rising  up in  righteous  AND destined
glory  against  the  repression  of  the economic  sanctions  after  the
humiliating defeat  in WWI.   That was the  Nazi line,  re-awakening the
industrial economy in defiance  of postwar restrictions and re-awakening
the national pride - unfortunately  fanning the flames of bitterness and
resentment in the process.

It's a damn funny slogan, but frightening and a -tiny- bit inappropriate
at the same time.  Like all good humor.
