>During World War I in Britain, the minimum height for soldiers was 5 feet 3 inches (160 cm). Thus thousands of men under this height were denied the ability to fight in the war. As a result of pressure to allow them entry, special "Bantam Battalions" were created composed of men who were 5 feet 0 inches (152 cm) to 5 feet 3 inches (160 cm). By the end of the war there were 29 Bantam Battalions of about 1,000 men each. Officers were of normal size.
Top kek, Britain had literal manlet armies
were there really that many sub 5'3 men in WWI?
Wouldn't being a manlet be an advantage in war?
>Much smaller target for enemies to hit
>Can crawl through small holes and reach areas other cannot
>Require less food and nutrients
>More agile and less clumsy
>struggle carrying man sized rifle
>fighting like a manlet
Porsche actually asked hitler if he could make sure soldiers going into tanks be under a certain height so he could design a smaller tank in ww2.
>no manlets in the master race.
>tiger tanks were massive.
After they were denied the ability to fight were they the ones who pressured the government into allowing it or did the government initiate it because of how many available short men were left?
>Germany lost the war
>Lanklets BTFO
>more agile and less clumsy
Short people become stout uness you're japanese and proportionately small and light.
>end of 2017
>not knowing that WW1 was a culling
The Brits put their soldiers through a meat grinder, they had no idea how to run a war, they got a bunch of fuddy-duddy lords and aristocrats out of their family mansions/castles and declared them officers.
It's not that bad if almost literally it takes the whole world to beat you. :)
Although it wasn't "that" long ago, people were still shorter. Negroid genetics has injected height especially in the last decades.
>Manlets classed as under 5'3
>tfw it's now 5'11 in the present day
Mhmmm... 6'
I'm laughing so fucking hard right now
It has nothing to do with genetic drift, it's all about nutrition.
you're dumb
europeans have consistently been the tallest people throughout history
manlets are better to be sent into battle when it is not melee combat, smaller targets, less calories need be supplied. less material used for uniforms and equipment.
however we cannot have manlet only conscription because they will obviously revolt due to their inherent anger issues exacerbated by tall chads being left at home to take care of their wives and girlfriends.
hitler was a zionist banker patsy, they were never supposed to win.
easier to duck breh
...
People were shorter back then. Good nutrition in first world countries led to greater height.
Germanics tended to be taller, but that's still a normal distribution and all.
Effective utilization of manlets is how battles are won. This was key to Napoleon's success.
>my great grandfather was in one of those battalions
>he later got sent to prison for beating a man to death in a bar fight
>literally a stereotypical angry, overcompensating manlet
Yet he still managed to pass on his genes.
pretty much anybody can find a fuck if they try hard enough
whats your excuse then
>implying anyone knew any better. Nobody had any idea how bad the great war was going to be. There wasnt even a von manstein figure who was a visionary of military tactics. ww1 is what you get with a mixture of too many soldiers, massive ordinance and no mobility.
the industrial revolution had most of europe tiny because of stunting from low nutrition with massive pop growth
pre industrial and modern europeans are more or less the same size though
>Officers were of normal size.
>Negroid genetics has injected height especially in the last decades.
Youre either massively stupid, misinformed or, and most likely, baiting. Not only is your entire argument based on the idea that huge amounts of miscegenation have occurred (which is wrong. Not only was it illegal until relatively recently in much of the states but opinion of it only even became 50% against some 30 years ago. Niggers are also an even newer phenomenon in europe) but also europeans have been consistently taller (even to this day) than other races including african americans. Largely, this is a nutritional issue.
what are you talking about retard holland and scandinavia has the tallest people
>obviously revolt
manlets would enjoy the opportunity to finally prove their worth. The first nation to sustain higher spawn rate could rule the world. Also important to remember that manlets must be manlets relative to average population of country.
No, that would be the Dinaric Alps.
The average German in ww2 was 5’8-5’7 so it was cope the country
Also, Dutch were turbo manlets even up to the 19th century. Average male height was actually 5'4" then.
>whites
>tallest people
Imagine thinking Balkan niggers are white.
>Send bantam armies ahead to run over minefields.
>Clean out fields for the real soldiers
>Eliminate genetic inferiors
Top kek
>White
Initially, only men 5’9 and above could enlist but when the British started getting fucked up by the Germans they greatly reduced the requirements. Any retard knows that the British army was weak compared to their navy.
>when Bismarck was asked what he would do if the British army landed he said that he would just have the Belgian police arrest them
Top kek
Kekd heartily
Honestly the shorter you are the easier it is for you in the military
You try fiting a 6’4 longman in a car or tank.
Hell i’m 6’0 and it’s somehow a tight squeeze for me
It's not like they had a choice. I'm willing to bet that everyone involved eventually had no choice but to let short people in. They were killing off all the normal and tall guys like crazy.
