Do the German Army still use these helmets today?

No. And they weren't very good helmets anyway, the Germans wanted to replace them in 1942 but hitler didn't want to because it would "change their image". So even through a better, safer, and more ergonomic helmet was developed naziboos still cling to "muh stahlhelm"

They don't, the version thry use today has very little in common with a m35/m44

No, but we recently had some guy kicked out of the army because he was a Nazi or something

So now our meme-tier news are discussing, among other things, whether or not that type of helmet is a "right-wing hate-symbol"

>you can't make this shit up

>>74899318
if you fall off the horse you aim for the enemy soldiers

Don't know

But If you run out of ammunition you can bump into enemies and stab them with your head.

I mean if you consider the PASGT a sort of continuation of the Stalhelm shape, then to some degree yes. Post war the East Germans used
>>74899275
Which was actually pretty great as far as steel helmets of the period go for ballistic protection. The West Germans used copies of our M1 helmet. In the early 90's they decided that the PASGT helmet was politically safe enough to use since it was then seeing widespread export.
