Is it true the reason WWI German Helmets had a point on them was for head butting the enemy?
Is this true or was someone having me on?
Actually, during World War I trench warfare and 'wave' attacks were much more frequent, resulting in far more hand to hand combat. The Germans did have helmets with spikes on them, and they were very lethal, but the purpose generally was for a 'head rush' into the belly or chest rather than a head butt. Taking a shot in the open face wouldn't be healthy for a combatant, to be sure. But the main purpose was to pierce the belly or chest during hand-to-hand combat.
