Lol the average British soldiers height was 5ft 8 inches in WW2, and about 5ft 7 inches in WW1.
Obviously the nutritional deficits of 1910s and 1940s British men were far worse than 2020s Japanese men. Stop trying to make this debatable.
I really not sure what you are trying to say or proof. Are you saying I'm wrong and therefore I should not be debating this?
I quoted that height figures from memory, when I was studying social and economic history when I was at university, over 30 years ago. where as you got that information from the first page of wiki!
My memory still serves me well, here's the extract below.
Never mind, here's a direct quote for you. Happy now? I have no axe to grind, but you seem to have an issue of some sort.
"Today, the average height of an adult British Caucasian male is about 5’9”. In 1914, their average height was 5’2”, though a member of the upper class stood about 5’6” These findings shamed the government into providing subsidized health care for common people"
