About Walter Model's appearance (via namu.wiki and Verlorene Siege by Erich von Manstein):
"He was short, had a strong and sturdy physique, and his movements were nimble and agile. He had thick black hair and always wore a heavy-duty monocle, but his blue eyes beyond his lenses were free-spirited and bright. We could all see that he had a very good heart." —Horst Großmann
Günther Blumentritt is said to have been surprised by the fact that the 35-year-old Hauptmann Model, whom he met during the interwar period, and the 50-year-old Feldmarschall Model during World War II had the same appearance. His hair did not become thinner or grayer, and his bright blue eyes were the same. —Generalfeldmarschall Walter Model, von Genthin bis vor Moskaus Tore (1962, p.48) by Konrad Leppa.
SS-Sturmbannführer Heinrich Springer, who is 23 years younger than Model, had the impression that when Model smiled sincerely, he 'smiled like a sweet boy'. (ME CRYYYYYYYY)
"Of medium height, with a rather delicate rather than strong build, with a head full of black hair and lively eyes that could sometimes take on a piercing look, he appeared young and fresh and was tough and of great efficiency." —Erich von Manstein
I really love the fact that people often highlight his thick black hair. It gives me personal comfort (because my hair too is just like that and I almost always hate it for being too thick and poofy lol) :(
Happiest heavenly birthday, my favorite Generalfeldmarschall. Ruhe in Frieden🫂
note: I used only Google translate. so, I don't know whether there were any translational errors. If there were, I'm very sorry.
