Had a student ask why did the ww1 German helmets have a spike on top , I didn't know and told him I would try to get information on this and get back. So I started here. Can anyone please tell me? Thanks!

There were a few instances where a German soldier would shove one up the butt of an enemy soldier that really pissed him off.
Spike helmets were used from 1840 through 1915 with the advent of steel helmets.
