The idea goes back to the late 1720s at least. In 1728 a book by the French count Boulainvilliers appeared in which he tried to justify the French aristocracy's exemption from most taxes by claiming that they were of Germanic origin and therefore racially superior to ordinary folk ... Whether he meant this completely seriously or not is another matter.

In other words, there is no one person who created a 'master race' theory.
