Exclusive Interverw WIth a Picklehaube Desendent:

HI, my name is Kugel Helm Im part of a famous family, the pickelhaube family we are well know because of how easy we are to distinguish from our “unicorn horn” the kids at school bully me because of it. my dad is a more popular common pickelhaube that is pretty cool . grandpa's is way cooler because he is a Bayern pickelhaube he has a longer spike on his head. I wish had a spike on my head instead of this eye shaped thing, thought it is pretty cool because people think I have a third eye hehe.There is a poem about the pickelhaube being like a lighting rod by Heinrich Heine “Yes, yes, I like the helmet, it demonstrates the loftiest wit! A kingly inspiration, it was! Complete with a point and tip! I’m just afraid a storm will come and only too easily hit,That romantic crown of yours with a fancy lightning blitz!”.But there is a downside to being a pickelhaube descendant, Propaganda people are scared of us in the streets even though we aren't anything like my ancestors who killed many in the “Great War”

Many different types of Picklehaubes

<-----------

we shouldnt be blamed many sides killed abunch of people. but a big big bright side is that I have a lot of siblings even though they can be annoying  and braggy about there “amazing holders” like my sister who is sooo cool because she is worn by every rank in the army even though she is just a Uberzug or a helm cover. But all things aside we are pretty useful because we dont fall of of heads I have never touched the ground (Of course I have but still) at all because of our super awesome straps. There is one thing that made us less popular it's that we can't really take bullets, and because of that we were replaced later on...just because we are little sensitive well sadly my story ends right here
