So uh I feel like sharing this to the emptiness of the internet but a lot of people described MvR as “chubby” so ill just list those accounts here.

First of all, he himself said he is “as big as a barrel” after gaining some weight in the trenches.

Then apparently Wilhelm II called him chubby when they first met “Sie sehen so dick und munter aus” (You look so chubby and happy). Essentially he called him a heckin’ wholesome chonker. [Edit: Yes, in the text he is talking about a meeting with Ludendorff, however he compares his meeting with Ludendorff with his meeting with Wilhelm II.]

Third is that apparently a family friend saw this picture and said “Das ist aber ein Moppelchen” (Moppelchen ist kind of a cutesy word for a chubby person) And my source is “trust me bro” because someone I trust a lot told me lmao.
