Hi Dave,
Manfred was not a tall man, if he was, then looking at his father and brother in the picture i have already posted, they must both have been 6'6" plus! The French nickname for Richtofen was "Le petit rouge" or "Little red".
As a banal aside, those bricks are not 'standard' size if you take u.k house bricks, they are 8" long x 4" wide x 2 1/2" deep. Looking at the assumed 'continental' bricks in the photo i would say that the 'headers' are 6" and the 'stretchers' 12".
Regards, Ned.
