What was his personality?

There's plenty of historical records as he was the John Lennon of his time, but I don't recall any of them?

Can anyone tell me how was he as a person? Seems like some narcissistic Chad who was always obsessed with reputation.

b a s e d, have a quote from El Maestro:

Tal vez el "Jefe" careció de los genes necesarios para resistir la terrible presión del Enemigo; pero posiblemente él mismo provocara el desenlace. A estas alturas en el tiempo, sólo podemos ya intentar –con mis jóvenes camaradas de esta amada patria– recoger los escombros de esa catástrofe que lo destruyera todo y, con el ejemplo del Führer, Adolf Hitler, que nunca traicionara y que, como un Dios, fue capaz de mantenerse firme hasta el final, inquebrantable –un Ulises, un Hércules, un Caupolicán– cargando nosotros con todo el peso de esta historia macabra de Chile, sin tampoco claudicar jamás, para poder rescatar el sacrificio de los héroes nazistas chilenos, que como nazistas murieron masacrados, dejando a otros defender a los tránsfugas, a los "vanguardistas", a los "demócratas"; pero sin permitir que los héroes y mártires, los más puros de mi generación, sean ahora transformados, canallescamente, en lo que ellos sí son.

Reading the biography called "Napoleon the Great" by Andrew Roberts right now and there is quite a bit known about his personality from childhood to his death because both he and te company he kept published thousands of letters about him. As a child he was quiet and kept to himself, spent most of his time reading books but was also very strong willed and talkative. As an adolescent he was bullied for his accent and large head. You can really gleam a lot about him from the ages of 16-23 because he wrote a lot of short stories, poems, novels and essays before the vendemaires revolt. He was awkward with women and the Parisian salon scene and wrote a sturm und drang style novel inspired by Werther because of early rejections. His wife cucked him during the Italian campaign. His intelligence combined with his lack pf social success allowed him to develop a big chip on the shoulder that he compensated for by fucking a lot of women after his initial sucess. I havent read past the battle of marengo yet so i dont know anything about his adulthood.

Tldr: Bullied and cucked so he tried to become as chaddy as possible to compensate

Too many nonwhites and mutts to judge it average male white height. I'm sure many European countries are affected by this too. So 6ft is a suitable average for Germanic men.

>> No.14431550

>The myth that he was short stems primarily from the fact that he is listed as 5 feet 2 inches tall at the time of his death. However, this is 5 feet 2 inches in French units. In modern international units, he was just shy of 5 feet 7 inches. Now I know you are saying “well that is still pretty short”. That is true by modern day standards in certain places in the world, such as the United States. However, at the time in France, the average height for an adult male was about 5 feet 5 inches in modern international units. So in fact, he was quite tall for his day.
>Interestingly, there is evidence that Napoleon was already considered short at the time of his death, despite being above average height among his fellow Frenchman. This likely stems from the fact that his personal bodyguards were all very tall and broad; there being height requirements for his guard. So wherever he went, people saw him with his guards who were all much bigger than him and thus he looked small in comparison, earning him the nickname “Le Petit Caporel” or in English “The Little Corporal”, though in his day this was typically used as a term of affection for him and not as an insult.

anglos are still pumping out propaganda movies every year to make up for their lack of virtue and courage in history. half of their energy is spent trying to tarnish the french. fucking anglo revisionists. There's even a movie coming up soon called '1917'. The title says enough. It will be about how americans saved the french in WW1 kek. It's utterly pathetic witnessing anglos peddling for credibility. This post is 100% unironic, every frenchman finds anglojew holywood propaganda pathetic, we watch their movies out of pity yet the anglo (lacking in awareness - his main caracteristic) will see the box office and think himself successful. hahahahahaha

The Napoleon complex with regards to height is false but if you want to be specific he was bullied as a child and was a kissless virgin until his early 20s so he had a lot to compensate for.
