An aspect of Nazi eugenics is a notion of a physically perfect person.
This used to come up quite often as a trope in science fiction, but I think that people gradually lost track of the idea that we were supposed to reject the concept, and feel visceral horror at it. The implication is that all human variation would be wiped out, that none of us would measure up to the standard, that the concept of an ideal person is irredeemably flawed.
