Volume 129 of the series "War in History." In this study, Gerd Glaeseker uncovers the historical roots and linguistic developments of myths that, while largely forgotten today, were once significant and emerged in the context of the cruiser warfare from 1914 onward. He traces their particular relevance to various social groups and sheds new light on the German perception and memory of the First World Warespecially naval warfare and naval history. Specifically, he identifies and analyzes the processes of mythologizing the light cruiser Emden, the submarines U-9/U-29, and the auxiliary cruiser Möwe, which continued into the Nazi era. These processes include the influence of traditional war and seafaring myths, national and international media conditions that fostered the formation of these myths, and prevailing discourses of the time, in which questions of heroism, community, morality, and military prowess were discussed using the cruiser warfare myths as a framework.
