It's certainly the most interesting argument I've heard concerning the Great War. What with longheads and roundheads (I prefer the cavaliers, myself) and the children of Cain.

The things I've said concerning roundheads vs. longheads can be backed up with studies like these on my source site that has this forward:

This is a web site dedicated to previous physical-anthropological research into the various indigenous populations of northern Europe, and to the possibilities for resumed study. The knowledge presented herein is founded chiefly on sources from before 1945, as there has been little progress in the field since that time. Nevertheless, we predict a rising interest in this subject in the future.

Part of the legacy of German overreaction to this kind of science is that these studies are too controversial to continue to conduct and the politically correct brainwashing of the masses to reject this simple but interesting science of Anthropology.

Here's what I was saying about longheads leaving or dieing and roundheads now domination of Germany from that site (Nordics are longheaded, Alpiners are roundheaded, brachycephaly is roundheadedness):

The temporary ascendancy of North German Nordics in most of Germany during the centuries which followed the settlement of the West Germanic tribes was not of long duration.

The problem of South German brachycephaly is a part of the general racial problem of the Alpine highland region, and cannot be separated from a consideration of the same subject in Switzerland and Austria. Cranial collections from Bavaria, from Switzerland, and from the Tyrol all show the same characteristics in varying proportions. All are predominantly if not wholly brachycephalic, with cranial index means ranging rom 82 to 86; all fall metrically into the moderate vault Alpine-Dinaric lass, and all contain both planoccipital and curvoccipital skulls.43 There can be no other interpretation of this material, which covers several thousands of well-documented crania, than that they are the skulls of Alpines and of Dinarics, two variant brachycephalic racial types which formed the predominant population of the Alpine mountain system before the Germanic migrations and which have survived all invasions to which they have been subjected. The series of South German crania of varying date show that this reëmergence has taken place gradually and consistently from the time of the Frankish conversion to Christianity to the present.

You think they were mistaken in their skull studies?
