I have a friend whose parents came to the US from Holland, and I believe he's 6'6" (201cm). He said it was really strange when he went to Holland to visit family because he's so used to being a head taller than everyone else - looking out over a crowd - but in Holland there were tons of people as tall as he.
Very interesting that the article says the current Dutch generation is shorter than their parents.
