how tall was hitler

Adolf Hitler was around 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall (approximately 173 to 175 cm). This height was about average for a man of his time. He often wore thick-soled boots or used lifts to appear taller, and Nazi propaganda sometimes exaggerated his stature to create a more imposing public image. Medical records and eyewitness accounts, including from the Austrian Army and conversations with individuals of known height, support the estimate of his height being in this range. This height is also slightly above average compared to other World War II leaders, some of whom were shorter, such as Stalin and Churchill.
