Is it just me or does the young man in the solo picture look really young? I know by wars end there were taking the youngest to fight, but he looks to be no older then 16.

Men back then were not all that tall as they are today or some years later. You can pretty much tell from uniform sizes and how they too have grown in size to accommodate the wearers. Combined with youth appearance and their sizes, they all looked too young.
