Not any German, but a French guy - Arthur de Gobineau (1816 to 1882) - is credited with creation of "Aryans the master race theory".
In his book "Inequality of the Human Races" which he wrote between 1853 and 1855, he tried to prove that whites are superior to others, and within whites too the Aryans are best stock.
Later on this book became the foundation stone of Aryan Nationalism in Germany and elsewhere in Europe, as well as would apparently inspired many European Indologists in shaping up AIT.
