The German Stahlhelm was the first single piece metal helmet. As you press the metal sheet the center point becomes thinner. To prevent this it was pressed in stages. You can see an example of this in the picture at 3:51. The British used the tommy boy helmet since they couldn't figure out how to prevent the thinning.

I think it's very interesting how the Stahlhelm became a subconscious signifier of oppression and scary soldiers. It features heavily in the designs of Darth Vader, the Helghast from Killzone, the soldiers evil future Superman rolls around with in BvS, and so many other things.

The german uniforms were pretty nice aswell, they had different colors of feldgrau, a mix between gray and dark green/green. The germans used this color because they realised there was going to be alot of dust in battles and because it worked well both in urban and vegetation warzones.

It should be noted that it wasn't just the buttons on the cap which denoted which state in the German confederation the uniform came from. The insignia on the pickelhaube also varied: eagle for Prussia, Cockade for Bavaria, etc. . The belt buckles also varied with the wreath/ crown and "Gott Mit Uns" on the brass Prussian belt buckle.

The really big thing was improvements to artillery, the main weapons of the war. I'd like to learn more about the different types that were used then.

The Pickelhaube often had the spike removed by front-line soldiers in 1915 and 1916, before it was replaced entirely in frontline service by the Stahlhelm. The spiked helmets, preferably with spike still attached, were prized souvenirs for Entente soldiers.

Question for out of the Trenches: How did the warring nations deal with all the language barriers?

+notbobby125 nevermind between different nations. it was a real problem within the belgian army with mainly flemish soldiers and only french speaking officers (military doctrine dictated french as the official language of the army). soldiers often didnt understand orders. the germans picked up on the tension between soldiers and officers. they made signs spurring flemish soldiers to turn their coats, arguing that because of the germanic roots of flemish they were more akin with the germans than the walloons. this partially kickstarted the flemish independence/nationalist movement.

You don't, welcome to the Austro-Hungarian army.

Was surprised when you discussed the pickelhaube that you didn't explain what the spike on the top was for. Many assume it was an offensive head butting weapon(or I did before researching), but was a throwback to days of swords designed to deflect blows from the top of the head. Like so much of the equipment countries went into the war with, it was useless on a modern battlefield, and had the added drawback of providing the enemy an idea of where you were when it stuck up above the trench wall, making for a good artillery target.

Great and informative video. Thank you.

Been waiting for this for forever

That final quote gives you a good preview of how the German effort at Verdun became to be so fruitless and wasteful. Good episode! I always wondered where the Second World War German helmet originated from and now I know its Schwerd who designed it.

Great episode, guys! I was wondering if the spikes were also problematic in the trenches because they might reflect light while a soldier is peeping over a parapet, thus giving enemy snipers an early idea of where to aim.

Having a pointed top deflected objects (ie a sabre) hitting the top of the head so that it slid off the side instead of landing flat and transferring it's kinetic energy and therefore causing injury; also why the modern helmets don't have a flat top, it's suicidal. To date nobody has created a functional helmet that is capable of stopping or deflecting bullets. Modern military helmets were and are designed/used as protection from shrapnel, fragmentation, and falling objects, not to stop bullets. I hope this cleared some things up for You, it's a brief explanation but there it is.

@TheGreatWarI love your show!

His entire regiment was killed and he and his friend were the only survivors, he was then captured and escaped back to German lines. He later served in the Volkstrum during ww2 and also survived. Pretty lucky guy to survive both of the world wars! Sadly we lost all of his pictures and his uniforms during the family's evacuation from Konigsburg East Prussia. :(

Outstanding

the color codeing system you mentioned on the grey caps were also on the pickelhaubes on the sides connecting the chin strap

Thank you for adding that letter. It is interesting that it was not censored. In any case, the spectator who thrills to the sight of the uniform, has no idea that the pride in it relates to the sacrifice and effort and endurance of the wearer. The historian, who studies maneuver, and the casualty totals, does not apprehend the immediate and persistent horror and shock of each death or injury. I thank you for the sobering reminder. This is why veterans of every war have been so contentious about poseurs or others misusing the uniform. It is a big deal.
