Category A men—examinees at least five feet tall
Wow, that's 1.50 mtrs!?! That's pretty short. Most men around here my age are at least 6 feet...
Seriously now, nice article. It does all sound efficient, making the most out of little. What doesn't suprise me is that their "basic" training part seem long. These men were well trained prior to the war. Perhaps that's also why they managed to do so good.
Sorry for the rambling.
