It is often forgotten in the early days of proto-Nazi racial theory the Prussians were said to be the Master Race because they were a combination of German and Slav! Their combination was supposed to be just right from the perspective of Prussians, reminding me of Charles Murray's "Who wants to be an elephant?". Nietzsche also proposed breeding ubermenschen by giving Prussian officers jewish brides (haven't read him myself, just heard he said this in BG&E).
Beyond Good and Evil, Aphorism 251. Nietzsche is not entirely serious there.
For the record, Nietzsche's concept of the Overman is primarily a spiritual genesis of a post-human creature that would have the strength to freely chose their own values in pursuit of a higher goal (If I understand it correctly). It has little to do with eugenics.
