Contact seller5-star sellerBrossura. Condition: nuovo. Pages: 168. Photographs: 202. Binding: softcover. Despot Infinitus, 2021. NEW ---- The German fast attack craft (Schnellboote, better known during the World War Two under the British designation E-boats) served as a warship category for almost hundred years in five German navies, from the Imperial Ger…man Navy (Kaiserliche Marine), over the Reichsmarine and Kriegsmarine, to the Federal German Navy (Bundesmarine) in the western and the People´s Navy (Volksmarine) in the eastern Germany, both established after 1945. The last units of this type were stricken in 2016, to be replaced by corvettes that are to fulfill similar duties in the narrow seas and coastal waters. The Schnellboote were not often described in detail by the Anglo-American naval authors, and even the origin of the designation E-boats is not completely clear. It is believed that the meaning was Enemy Boats , but there were other German vessels belonging to the boat category (like the motor minesweepers, called R-Boote by the Germans and R-boats by the Allies, or minesweepers aka M Boote/M-boats). Thus it is possible that the initial meaning was simply Express Boats, similar to Express Trains (Schnellzüge in German), and later the origin of the name was forgotten. The book Schnellboote, written by the already well-known naval author Zvonimir Freivogel, is divided into four parts; the first is about the genesis and the development of this warship category in Germany, the second an overview of all S-boat operations on the European war theaters between 1939 and 1945, the third is describing these vessels in the Bundesmarine, and the fourth is a short history of S-boats in the Volksmarine. The book is richly illustrated with over 200 photographs, drawings, and charts, and there are numerous tables with technical and building data, together with fates of all German wartime or post-war fast attack craft.

Contact seller5-star sellerRilegato. Condition: nuovo. 265pp, 110 illus. Despot Infinitus, 2022. NEW -- Über Borojević können wir sagen, dass er ein typischer Vertreter der österreichisch-ungarischen Armee in all ihrer Pracht und mit all ihren Mängeln war. Ein altmodischer Heerführer, der dem Kaiser unter Eid so treu blieb, dass er schließlich selbst… das Schicksal der Donaumonarchie teilte. Über Borojević zu schreiben bedeutet, eine Geschichte über einen Krajina-Jungen zu schreiben, der, wie viele andere Jungen der Militärgrenze, mit heroischen Geschichten über Vorfahren aufgewachsen ist, die in Kämpfen mit den Türken Ruhm erlangten und ehrenvoll ihr Leben für ihren Glauben und den Kaiser hingaben. Es ist die Geschichte eines Jungen, der weit entfernt von seinem Elternhaus aufgewachsen ist, eines Soldaten, der in den Militärschulen der alten Monarchie geschmiedet wurde, eines vorbildlichen Offiziers und besonderen Menschen, der bereit war alles zu opfern sowie eines der größten Militärführer des Ersten Weltkriegs, aber es ist auch die Geschichte einer zu Unrecht abgelehnten und im Laufe der Zeit langsam vergessenen Größe nicht nur in der kroatischen, sondern auch der weltweiten Militärgeschichte.

Contact seller5-star sellerBrossura. Condition: nuovo. 169pp, 212 illus. Despot Infinitus, 2021. NEW -- Es ist keine leichte Aufgabe, die Geschichte einer von der Armee geschaffenen Stadt, ihrer Befestigungen und Batterien sowie des mächtigen Arsenals, das zum Stolz der einst glorreichen österreichisch-ungarischen Monarchie wurde, zu erzählen und den Lese…r dennoch nicht mit Details zu belästigen, über die sich die Festungshistoriker den Kopf zerbrechen. Es gäbe noch viel mehr hinzuzufügen, zu erklären und zu schreiben, zu zeigen und zu zeichnen, aber das würde den Rahmen dieses Buches sprengen, das als eine Art Fremdenführer gedacht wurde und als Versuch, die ganze Schönheit und Komplexität des Befestigungssystems des ehemaligen österreichisch-ungarischen Hauptkriegshafen dem Leser so einfach wie möglich zu vermitteln. Die Festung Pula bestand aus einer Reihe verschiedener Arten von Befestungen und Batterien, von denen der Großteil in diesem Buch gezeigt wurde, zusammen mit allen anderen Befestigungen, inclusive der, die der Armee dienten, sowie der lokalen Bevölkerung und ihren Gäste, die aus allen Teilen der Doppelmonarchie und dem Rest der Welt nach Pula kamen.

Contact seller5-star sellerBrossura. Condition: nuovo. Pages: 232. Photographs: 110. softcover. Despot Infinitus, 2021. NEW -- About the book A century after his death, Svetozar Borojević remains one of the most interesting yet misunderstood figures of the First World War. His successes on the Eastern Front in 1914 and the Isonzo Front from 1915 onwa…rds made him the Habsburg Empire's most popular war-time military leader, but his legacy came crashing down in 1918, together with the Empire to whom he was completely devoted. Thus, in a curious twist of fate, he has been largely omitted from the European collective memory of the war. This book describes the life and times of Svetozar Borojević, a career army officer who was in many ways a typical representative of the Austro-Hungarian military system with all its virtues and flaws, and the only Slav in the Habsburg Empire who had ever reached the rank of field marshal. It also describes Borojević's personal side, examining his life from his birth in a hamlet in present-day Croatia, the early childhood years spent far away from his parental home, his education and life of service throughout the Empire, his hopes, thoughts, ambitions, character, and, above all, the ways in which he tirelessly climbed the social, political, and military hierarchies of his time, reaching the top in face of tremendous adversity. And finally, this book explores the reasons why, despite playing a prominent role in the events of 1914 to 1918, he was destined to fall together with the Empire, consumed by the whirlwind of politics and ideology in the turmoil of post-war Europe.
