Picture of Von Hindenburg from WWI

I have several original old photographs from WWI and came across this one of Von Hindenburg. I looked on the internet and did not find this image so I thought I would post it here if it helps anyone with their helmet research.http://www.holcombs.net/vonHindenburg.jpg

Was he really that tall or was he standing on a box??

It turns out that Von Hindenburg was 6'5" and the average German was 5'6" It is just amazing what you can find on the internet.

Which would've made him about 7" with the spike on; an easy target for snipers :-"
