Heinrich Himmler set out to make the SS a racial \"elite,\" the vanguard of the master race his ideology imagined, and he screened recruits accordingly. Candidates had to be physically flawless and able to document \"Aryan\" ancestry back generations — to 1800 for enlisted men, 1750 for officers — and the Leibstandarte, Hitler's showpiece guard, went further still, demanding a minimum height of nearly six feet and a near-identical build so that a rank of them looked machine-made. The result stands here: four interchangeable specimens, chosen not for who they were but for how well they fit a fantasy of purity. Behind the parade-ground perfection lay one of history's most murderous ideas — that some human beings were worth more than others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe set gives four Leibstandarte guardsmen at parade rest in black dress uniform, white belts and gloves, rifles grounded before them — a block of the honour guard for lining a parade route or flanking a rostrum.
