Man, how old are you? Since the middle of WWI the Pickelhaube was not 
any longer fashionable. But the newer models have a remarkable design, 
too. Even the US are now convinced of the advantageous, fashionable 
and protecting shape of Gemran style helmets. And a lot of countries 
of the Warsaw Pact used a helmet, which was based on a design, 
developed in Germany at the end of WWII.
