Dear friends,
today I‘d like to share the results of my research about the invention and introduction of the Pickelhaube in Prussia.
Much has been written about it, unfortunately also contradicting or sometimes only poor information were available. That’s why I wanted to find more informations about this period and I found my sources in german newspaper articles from mid-19th century. My idea behind this was that the journalists at the time, due to their knowledge and good networking, surely learned a lot about the new helmet and wrote it down.
As a result, I was able to confirm a lot of knowledge but also get some (at least for me) new informations
About the invention and introduction of the Pickelhaube in Prussia
If anybody is interested in my sources, the excerpts from the german articles, please write a PM.
