<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 211866, member: 44&quot;]Speaking of that hat, sometime in the last couple of months I read that those German spike military hats were a left over from sword fighting wars. The spikes deflected swords or whatever from splitting ones head open in hand to hand combat. The correct name of them is pickelhaube. Just a bit of trivial that I don&#039;t know if true or not.</p><p><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickelhaube" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickelhaube" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickelhaube</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
