Prussian pickelhaube

From TF2 Wiki

Information

The Prussian Pickelhaube is an unlockable headwear item for the Medic. It appears as a metal, team-colored pickelhaube helmet associated with the Prussian army and in propaganda and popular fiction, with the German military. The spike is purely aesthetic and will not damage enemies who land on top of the Medic.

Trivia

• The pickelhaube (plural pickelhauben) is named from the old German pickel or "point" and haube or "bonnet", a general word for headgear.

• The pickelhaube was worn in the 19th and 20th centuries by German military, firefighters, and police.

• The pickelhaube was originally designed in 1842 by King Frederick William IV of Prussia.

• The pickelhaube featured prominently in British propaganda during the first world war, becoming an icon of Imperial Germany. It is sometimes mistakenly associated with the Nazis, although it was very rarely used by them.
