I saw a colour photo in which he looked to have dark blond/light golden brown hair. Furthermore, I read he was 180 cm tall.
He looks to be brachycephal and dinaroid (his occiput appears quite flat). This could make sense, because he was born in Moravia (South-East Bohemia), a heavily Dinaric region. However, because Seyß-Inquart seems to be fairer and less sharp in features than standard Dinarids, my opinion is he was a Norid, with (perhaps) a slight subsumed Alpinoid strain. Which are your opinions?

Dinaro-Corded. Generally Dinarid in facial proportions, particularly in profile, but he has an extremely high vault which leads me to a Corded influence as well.

Interesting. In fact, I think that in some central European Dinarids/Norids, and in general especially among some Norids, there's a subsumed Corded strain. It would have been interesting also to know Seyß-Inquart's head size (head lenght - head breadth - auricular height), because there's difference between a brachychephal with a head lenght of 180-185 mm (standard for Dinarids) and one with a head lenght of 195-198 mm (not standard for Dinarids, but possible in single persons: look for example at the German Norid in Plate 35, fig. 1 of Coon's TRoE, who, even if brachycephalic, had a great head lenght, leading Coon to the conclusion that that Norid had a Corded strain in him).

Anyway, I agree Seyß-Inquart was Norid, in which the Nordoid component could have been of the Corded variety; but I also retain he could have had a subsumed slight Alpinoid strain, shown especially in the second photo I've post, in which he seems a little more stout than standard Norid/Dinarid. But this strain appears to be gone when he aged.

Among other things, I've asked for Seyß-Inquart classification also to understand my own, because, mainly in the photos in which he's more slender, he shows some resemblances to me (especially nose, facial morphology and the quite high vault).
