​Die letzten Jahre waren weltumspannend geprägt von Auswirkungen der Pandemie und der Kriegslage in Europa. Auch die Auswirkungen auf die Bauwirtschaft sind erheblich und mitunter existenziell. Dadurch stellen sich viele Fragen: Wie geht man mit der internationalen Verflechtung von Lieferketten in der Bauwirtschaft um? Wie wird man krisenresistenter und -resilienter in der Vertragsgestaltung? Welche Möglichkeiten sind baubetrieblich greifbar, um den Umgang mit den Auswirkungen besser zu realisieren?Die Kooperationsverpflichtung der Vertragsparteien endet nicht mit dem Beginn von Komplikationen im Bauablauf.Das Ziel muss also ein angemessener Interessensausgleich sowohl der Auftraggeberseite, als auch der Auftragnehmerseite sein.

The Schnellbootwaffe was created in the early 1930s, before the Second World War, in concurrence with the regenerated Kriegsmarine, and young officers, most of whom learned their craft in the old Imperial Navy, would take responsibility for the operational use of these revolutionary vessels. Working with the naval engineers of Lurssen Shipyard, the Germans designed combat weapons that were never surpassed by their opponents. After the first series of Schnellboote were launched, constantly improved versions of these vessels would follow. The Schnellbootwaffe would achieve significant victories for the Kriegsmarine at the beginning of the war by using these vessels in high-level strategies, including a style of guerrilla warfare. The British often call German torpedo boats E-boats, and these fast vessels were a genuine threat not only to coastal trade, but also to the movement of Allied ships after D-Day. Indeed, Admiral Rudolf Petersen's flotillas remained combat-ready until the very end, even after the balance of power was in favour of the Allies. Allied air bombardment of German torpedo boat bases from 1944 onwards failed to destroy the offensive potential of the Schnellboote and their crews. The Allied disaster at Lyme Bay at the end of April 1944 shows how this guerrilla war at sea was still dangerous, even at this stage of the war. The Allied invasions plans were not yet known to the Germans, but Eisenhower learned a great deal from Lyme Bay and the Schnellbootwaffe was still potentially dangerous right until the end of the war. This book tells the fascinating story about these special people, whose pirate spirit and guerrilla style of naval combat is reminiscent of the ancient pirates and their own way of warfare.

This photo-history of Schnellkampfgeschwader 210 and Zerstörergeschwader 1 “Wespengeschwader” in the years 1941-1944 shows for the first time in a single volume the many personalities, and the varied Messerschmitt and Junkers aircraft types flown by these units. Between the two units, they flew in more theatres of operations than any other unit. The work also contains a comprehensive loss/damage list for personnel and aircraft, drawn from the Deutsche Dienststelle records and the Quartermaster loss returns, and appendices covering reports on several combats by the actual participants, and extracts from three Flight Log books outlining the many tasks undertaken by the flying personnel of the unit. Drawing photographic content from mainly private sources, this work fills a gap in the overall documented history of the Luftwaffe in World War II.
