I don't know about his exact body height, according to Jens Westemeier "almost 180cm".

Look at 1:43 to see him in profile.

Something makes me think atlantid.

Quite leptomorphic as well.

I'd wager Hallstatt + some minor Baltid or Alpinoid?

In my opinion he is pred. Nordid+Dinarid. With his Dinarid influence showing up in his pronounced nose and his flat occiput.

I also find his "hanging" nasal septum quite interesting btw.

I've seen in a lot of Northern Germans...the hanging nasal septum.

He has a very clean and handsome look in that first pic. Could he possibly be Tronder?

Actually, especially if looking at the Dutch, Nordid-Borreby seems to produce quite often "Trönder-like" variants/phenotypes.

So I actually thought about two options, Nordid + Borreby or Nordid + Dinarid. I rather tend to the first version with the Nordid element being in any case dominant overall, yet not for the cranium which could be explained as rather Borreby or Dinarid in form.
