The small units of the k.u.k. Kriegsmarine, to which "rapid cruisers" belonged to, had to bear the brunt of its maritime actions. Reconaissance, support, mine searching were some of the tasks they were asked for. The illustrated book describes the development of the HELGOLAND, but mainly its war and after-war-service (in the Italian forces). It shows eye wittness accounts and contains an appendix that covers the personal losses of the ship, the awards of the crew members and comparisons of the k.u.k. Kriegsmarine with its enemies.
