Other / unclassifiable — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 28 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 98% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

9 posts held, back to 18 May 2025 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 9 posts for this entry, the most recent from 24 June 2025. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
36 reactions across 7 posts, in 5 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 36.1% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🫡 | 13 | 36.1% | |

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 7 of the 9 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 36 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 9 most recent posts we hold, published 18 May 2025 to 24 June 2025, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
Hey, sorry guys. Thank you for sticking along. Its getting hard for me to keep up with the channels. Hope you enjoyed it so far but I'm afraid that will be all. The Helmets of Imperial Germany project is officially over. It will stay online as a ressource for all who enjoy these spiky hats. Take care.

BADEN INFANTRY Enlisted man model 1895 Pickelhaube of the Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 109, with boiled leather shell. The 109th regiment helmets have a round visor, white metal tip, frontplate and rim. Notice the Baden Labdkokarde on the left side of the helmet.
PRUSSIAN ADMINISTRATIVE TROOPS Prussian Administrative Official's Officers M1891 Pickelhaube as worn by for example Medical or Veterinarian Official's. The M1891 pattern was introduced on 8 January 1891with a brass front visor trim being reintroduced. The helmet shows brass Officer's chinstrap. The Prussian frontplate is showing a small gold-toned official's (Beamte) eagle attached just below the "FR".

PICKELHAUBE ANECDOTE These interesting pictures, taken in 1919, show the New York Central Railroad during the WW1 victory celebrations, showing off a pyramid of recovered German helmets in front of Grand Central Terminal. There were over 12,000 German Pickelhaubes on the pyramid, sent from warehouses in Germany at the end of the war. Every one of those would be worth a little fortune on the collector market today.
CHILEAN SPIKED HELMETS Chile is probably the last country in the world to dress and parade in the old Prussian-style to this day. Since the 1890s, Germany and Austria manufactured Spiked helmets dedicated to Chile regularly. The shape and model were similar to those of the Kaiser Army (M1891 and M1895),used by the Prussian Garde Regiments. The Imperial eagle plate was replaced by a very similar one specifically m…

AMERICAN SPIKED HELMETS Other countries followed the fashion trends in the 19th century, such as the USA. Here you can see a United States Marine Corps 1899 officer helmet (left) and a regular infantry 1881 helmet (right).

ENGLISH AND CANADIAN SPIKED HELMETS Adopting what had become a German fashion by then, the British Empire also issued spiked helmets to some of its troops. Here you can see an 1900s Canadian Militia sun helmet (white) and an 1878 pattern Home Service Helmet (dark blue).

RUSSIAN SPIKED HELMETS Spiked helmet are most of the time associated to Prussia and the German Second Empire, however, the first nation to introduce them in the 19th century may have been Russia, which adopted spiked helmet around 1841. An often repeated story suggests that Prussian King Frederick William IV visited his cousin Czar Nicholas I of Russia in St. Petersburg, and here the Prussian King saw the first of t…

Showing the 9 most recent of 9 posts we hold for @HelmetsOfImperialGermany. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 12 October 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
