The use of the Pickelhaube spread rapidly to other German principalities. Oldenburg adopted it by 1849, Baden by 1870, and in 1887, the Kingdom of Bavaria was the last German state to adopt the Pickelhaube (since the Napoleonic Wars, they had had their own design of helmet called the Raupenhelm, a Tarleton helmet).
A significant partial exception to this lack was the German Pickelhaube. Like other army helmets of 1914, it was made out of leather; but it also had a significant number of steel inserts, which offered some head protection. This included the top spike, originally used to stop strikes from an enemy hand-held sabre.
'Spectra' is a brand-name of a type of resistant fibre, not the actual name of the helmet.

The armies of the great powers began to issue steel helmets during World War I as a result of combat experience and experimentation.

When the spiked Pickelhaube helmet was introduced during the 1840s, enlisted German troops were issued with peakless forage caps resembling the sailor cap. Officers, however, continued to wear the German-style peaked cap (Schirmmütze) to set themselves apart from the French, who wore the kepi peaked cap.
This is a list of Imperial German infantry regiments [1] before and during World War I. In peacetime, the Imperial German Army included 217 regiments of infantry (plus the instruction unit, Lehr Infantry Battalion). Some of these regiments had a history stretching back to the 17th Century, while others were only formed as late as October 1912. [2]
