Does anyone know Kershaw's source for this quotation?
“We can’t lose the war at all. We now have an ally which has never been conquered in 3,000 years,” a jubilant Hitler said, as recounted in Mr. Kershaw’s authoritative biography of the German leader.

Hewel diary, entry for 8 December
8. Dezember 1941
Montag
* Kriegseintritt Japans [und große Erfolge?] werden bekannt. Führer sehr guter Stimmung: „Wir können den Krieg garnicht verlieren. Wir haben jetzt einen Bundesgenossen, der in 3 000 Jahren nicht besiegt worden ist und einen, der immer besiegt worden ist, aber immer auf der richtigen Seite stand."
*) Siehe Eintragung, vielleicht Fehleintragung, vom 7. 12. Sonst ist „werden" nicht zu erklären.
