Just an over view
The depth of Teutonic influence in Americans is extraordinary on the Lounge. An American told me that around 1789 German was almost the US local language if you counted how many Geman speakers there were. I thought this ridiculous at the time but looking here I see why he may have been right (his name was Wagner!). This accounts for the size of Americans as the German influence is supposed to be the primary source of the huge sizes you see in the USA like size 15 feet etc. You never see this Down Under.
