The iconic horned helmet of the German army, known as the Pickelhaube is one of the strongest images from the war. |
Few relics of military history are as striking as the German Pickelhaube. |
The pickelhaube was originally designed in 1842 by King Frederick William IV of Prussia. and its use slowly spread to other German principalities. |
The comparison was helped by the spiked Pickelhaube helmet worn by German forces until 1916, which would be reminiscent of images depicting ancient Hun helmets. |
And look at that one over there, wearing that beautiful waste-paper basket on his head like a pickelhaube! |
They wore the regular German officer's uniform, except that the pickelhaube was replaced by a khaki sun-helmet. |
