Tanks and Armour at Kursk 1943


In the summer of 1943, Hitler set his sights on a decisive blow that he believed would turn the tide of war on the Eastern Front. That blow would be dealt at Kursk – site of a huge Soviet salient measuring some 120 miles wide and 75 miles deep, and the stage for what would become the largest tank battle in history. Fuelled by confidence in his elite Panzerwaffe and Waffen-SS divisions, Hitler launched Operation Citadel, unaware that the Red Army was not only prepared, but vastly superior in numbers, firepower, and defensive depth – they outnumbered their opponents by approximately 2.5 to 1. What followed was a brutal clash of steel and strategy, where German ambition collided with Soviet resilience. Tanks and Armour at Kursk 1943 presents a vivid and richly illustrated account of the German armoured forces that spearheaded this historic assault. With in-depth analysis, detailed captions and a wealth of rare and unpublished photographs, this book brings to life the machines, units, and men behind the last great German offensive on the Eastern Front.

Polish Military Aircraft 1918-1939


Despite not existing as a free country for 123 years until the end of the First World War, the roots of Polish aviation, including military aviation, reach as far back as the days of pioneers such as Otto Lilienthal or the Wright Brothers. The Polish Military Aviation can trace its origins to the second half of 1917, and was officially established when Poland regained her independence on 11 November 1918. The country was then able to build its own air force with men being proud to call themselves Poles again. Despite its difficult rebirth, in the 1930s Poland developed a wide range of its own aircraft. These included the PZL P.6 fighter which gained fame for being the most advanced of its day and the first fighter aircraft made of metal in the world, or PZL P.24 fighter considered by the RAF as a purchase option. Towards the end of the decade, however, foreign aircraft design had overtaken them. In 1939, Poland fought its lonely war against overwhelming might of the German Third Reich, the fascist state of Slovakia and the Soviet Russia. Though surrounded, massively outnumbered and flying mostly inferior aircraft, Polish fliers caused the attacking forces considerable losses, including 500 aircraft, destroyed and damaged. As well as telling the story of the valiant Polish flyers, Polish Military Aircraft 1918-1939 includes a wonderful collection of photographs, the majority of which have never been seen in the West. Together, these take the reader on a journey throughout the early years of Polish military aviation, showing amazing pictures of German, Austro-Hungarian or Russian aeroplanes, in many cases scavenged by the Poles. Also included is selection of British aircraft which were used in Poland, as well as a host of photographs of Polish-designed and built machines, including these that had to face Luftwaffe in September of 1939.

The Lockheed U-2


The Lockheed U-2 ‘Dragon Lady’ has long been associated as a symbol of the Cold War due to several news events of that era. Much of this was the result of the news surrounding well-known incident when Gary Powers’ U-2 was brought down by Soviet missiles over Russia in 1960 and his subsequent capture. There was also the events in 1962, when Major Rudolf Anderson Jr. was also shot down, this time over Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Though it is commonly characterized as a spy plane, as the author reveals here there is so much more to the U-2 than that. Since the Cold War, and even with the advent of satellite and drone technology, many may not be aware that the U-2 is still flying today, and still performing vital surveillance missions in many of the world’s hot spots of military or political turmoil. These can often be demanding missions, flights which take place at high altitude and lasting for many hours, taxing the endurance of even the very best pilots. There is a demanding and robust selection process for potential U-2 pilots, all of which is detailed in Ken Neubeck’s absorbing commentary. Notably, after the Cold War, the U-2 aircraft proved to be valuable in the Gulf War in 1991, where it provided a significant amount of overhead surveillance of potential Iraqi targets, prior to the start of the war. This book not only examines the unique history of the aircraft but also looks at the extensive pilot training and requirements to fly it, which is unparallel with any other military aircraft training. With a wingspan of over 100 feet, the landing and take-off sequence for the U-2 requires extreme pilot skill, along with the use of removable landing gear pogo devices at the end of each side of the wing. Previous books on the U-2 have touched upon this unique aspect of the type, but usually in narrative fashion as opposed to a pictorial sequence which this book will do in detail.  The story of the U-2 continues, and Ken Neubeck looks at the future prospects of this, the most famous spy plane to ever have taken to the skies in the Cold War.

The Battle of the Reichswald - Rhineland


During winter 1944/45 few German officers believed that the Allies would attack the wooded Reichswald Plug on the narrow neck of land between the rivers Rhine and Maas. Consequently, relying on the natural defences of the forest, the vaunted Siegfried Line had been allowed to peter out. The 84th Infantry Division held field defences that had been worked on all autumn, but the defenders were thinly spread, and most German soldiers now faced the certainty of defeat.Originally hoping to use the frozen winter ground for a speedy assault, days before Operation VERITABLE began a thaw set in and the Allies faced attacking in the worst possible ground conditions. On the morning of 8 February, after protracted bombardment, delays multiplied as vehicles became bogged in saturated fields and shell holes, and roads broke up under heavy armour. However, just enough assault engineer equipment reached the outer German defences, where they found the enemy infantry largely stunned by the bombardment.It took all of the first day to break through the mud and defences into the Reichswald, while to the north, Canadians and Scots struggled across equally sodden open country with the Rhine floods rising fast. Despite the conditions, overnight the Canadians took to the flood waters to seize what were now island villages and the Scots dashed to capture the vital Materborn, which overlooked Kleve.With heavy rain compounding difficulties, mud and flood waters made movement of men and supplies increasingly difficult. Despite this and the arrival of German reinforcements, the Allies fought their way forward, forcing the Reichswald Plug and opening the way into the Rhineland and the final phases of the war.

Aktualizácia 2026 II/1 - Obchodný register


Po novom sa rozširujú možnosti prepojenia obchodného registra s ostatnými registrami, najmä referenčnými registrami, čím sa zužuje počet administratívnych krokov, ktoré budú musieť zapísané osoby vykonať voči registrovému súdu či registrátorovi. Efektívne prepojenie obchodného registra s ostatnými registrami súčasne podporuje správnosť a aktuálnosť údajov v obchodnom registri. Technické riešenia vytvárajú predpoklad pre zavedenie právnej záväznosti údajov zapísaných v obchodnom registri, zverejnených on-line. Tieto údaje nebude potrebné preukazovať v obchodnom styku ani pred orgánmi verejnej moci tak, aby sa reálne dosiahla zásada jedenkrát a dosť a súčasne sa znížilo zaťaženie podnikateľského prostredia efektívnou spoluprácou orgánov verejnej moci. Z organizačno-procesného hľadiska sa zotrváva na právnej úprave duálnosti zapisovania údajov do obchodného registra prostredníctvom registrového súdu a registrátora – notára. V súvislosti s prvozápismi obchodných spoločností sa zavádza možnosť podania návrhu na registráciu aj bez dokladania živnostenského oprávnenia. V prípade jednoznačne špecifikovaného okruhu voľných živností vznikne živnostenské oprávnenie spoločnosti registráciou do obchodného registra. Podnikateľom je tak umožnené proces vzniku spoločnosti urýchliť a zjednodušiť. S cieľom zvýšenia dôveryhodnosti údajov v obchodnom registri sa ustanovuje, aby zakladateľský dokument každej právnej formy obchodnej spoločnosti bol vyhotovený vo forme notárskej zápisnice, alebo zmluvy autorizovanej advokátom. Podmienka notárskej zápisnice alebo zmluvy autorizovanej advokátom sa stanovuje aj na vymedzené druhy rozhodnutí spoločnosti, ako je napríklad zvýšenie a zníženie základného imania či prevod obchodného podielu.

Bikini Atoll


The Empire of Japan formally surrendered to the Allies on 2 September 1945, following the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. While the fighting had ended, a new weapon had been unleashed onto the world stage that nations rushed frantically to develop and master. The USA needed somewhere extremely remote to conduct its experimental nuclear weapons testing. They chose Bikini Atoll – a beautiful Pacific coral atoll in the Marshall Islands in the middle of the Pacific and perhaps the most remote group of islands on the planet. The initial nuclear experiments were assigned the codename Operation Crossroads. The 167 local islanders were moved out of their once tranquil tropical paradise whilst American, and captured German and Japanese, battleships, cruisers, destroyers, submarines, and aircraft carriers were moved to the lagoon and moored strategically around the test area so that the effects of a nuclear blast on them could be studied. In total, the US conducted twenty-five nuclear tests on the atoll between 1946 and 1957. Unsurprisingly, Bikini was closed to all visitors until the 1990s. But with radiation in the waters of the lagoon at safe levels, Bikini was able to open its lagoon to divers - and hosting wrecks of some of the most famous shipwrecks of the Second World War, Bikini soon became a magnet for technical divers. Today, diving the Bikini Atoll wrecks is seen as the ultimate diving experience. A renowned diver, Rod Macdonald is famous for his books about the Second World War shipwrecks of Truk Lagoon and Palau. He has now investigated the Bikini wrecks and presents a detailed analysis of the ABLE and BAKER nuclear tests, alongside a stunning collection of unique images of the wrecks, which graphically portray the effects of the most devastating weapons known to mankind.

Monograph on German Light Armoured Cars Kfz. 13/14


The Kfz. 13/14 represented a significant step forward for the German army in the realm of armoured scout cars following the devastation of First World War. Initially intended for training purposes, despite their limitations, including inadequate armament, armour, and off-road capabilities, they played a pivotal role in shaping the tactics and strategies of German armoured warfare doctrine. The early scout cars also provided essential training opportunities for crews, helping to develop the skills necessary for operating more advanced armoured vehicles in future conflicts, as well as provided valuable insights into the design of armoured fighting vehicles to the German industry. Despite their contributions to the early development of armoured warfare tactics, Kfz. 13/14 vehicles were already outdated by the outbreak of Second World War and gradually phased out in favour of more modern and capable designs. Nonetheless, their legacy as pioneering platforms in the evolution of armoured reconnaissance vehicles remained significant within the annals of military history. The aim of this book is to tell the lesser-known history of vehicles commonly referred to as "Bathtubs", which despite their unassuming appearance, shaped the generations of German soldiers serving in motorized reconnaissance formations, who after 1939 found themselves at the forefront of armoured formations spreading terror throughout Poland, Low Countries and France.

Dane účtovníctvo odvody 7 2026 - DPH v zákone o dani z príjmov, Spôsob zápočtu minimálnej dane


Daň z pridanej hodnoty predstavuje základný typ univerzálnej nepriamej dane a jeden z hlavných príjmov štátneho rozpočtu. Všeobecným dôvodom implementácie DPH je príjem štátneho rozpočtu tej krajiny, na území ktorej je vykonávaná ekonomická aktivita. Samotný systém DPH je založený na skutočnosti, že túto daň pre konkrétny produkt konečný spotrebiteľ zaplatí v jeho cene, avšak daň štátu v konečnom dôsledku odvedú účastníci distribučného kanála prostredníctvom ustanoveného systému platieb. V rámci zákona o dani z príjmov je problematika DPH riešená vo viacerých ustanoveniach a má dopad na také skutočnosti ako vylúčenie DPH zo základu dane z príjmov, podmienky uplatnenia DPH ako daňového nákladu, posudzovanie DPH ako súčasti obstarávacej ceny majetku. Titul obsahuje príspevky k zmenám v právnych predpisoch z oblastí daní, účtovania a zdaňovania miezd a odvodov.

Povinnosť platenia minimálnej dane sa vzťahuje na daňovníka, ktorého daňová povinnosť je nižšia ako výška zákonom stanovenej minimálnej dane, pričom jej výška sa odvíja od výšky zdaniteľných príjmov dosiahnutých daňovníkom v príslušnom zdaňovacom období. Daňovník, ktorý zaplatil minimálnu daň, má možnosť zápočtu kladného rozdielu medzi minimálnou daňou a skutočnou daňovou povinnosťou vypočítanou v daňovom priznaní na daňovú povinnosť vyčíslenú pred uplatnením preddavkov na daň. Zápočet minimálnej dane alebo kladného rozdielu medzi minimálnou daňou a skutočnou daňovou povinnosťou je možný v 3 bezprostredne po sebe nasledujúcich zdaňovacích obdobiach nasledujúcich po zdaňovacom období, za ktoré bola minimálna daň zaplatená, a to len tú časť, ktorá prevyšuje sumu minimálnej dane.

O Boží vůli a moci v Teologické sumě


Tento svazek obsahuje překlad čtvrté a závěrečné části traktátu o jednom Bohu (STh I, q. 19–26). Tomáš se zde věnuje druhým dvěma velkým tématům, jež předeslal v úvodu pojednání o Božích aktivitách: Boží vůli a moci. První tři otázky pojednávají o Boží vůli a jejích stavech (láska, radost, spravedlnost a milosrdenství), následují tři otázky o prozřetelnosti, předurčení a knize života a po nich dvě otázky o Boží moci a blaženosti. Úvodní studie se snaží poskytnout koncepční nástroje pro úspěšné čtení přeloženého textu. Začíná uvedením čtenáře do Tomášova pojetí vůle a jejího připisování Bohu a pokračuje komentářem k jednotlivým částem Tomášova textu. Zvláštní pozornost je věnována problematice vztahů mezi Boží vůlí, nutností a svobodou. Studie se zaměřuje především na ty aspekty, u nichž častěji dochází k chybnému výkladu či hodnocení.

1918 – The Americans Under French Command


Pershing’s aim had always been to fight the Germans with an independent American Army (the AEF, the American Expeditionary Forces) instead of dividing his divisions between the allies. When the Germans launched the first attack of their Spring Offensives on 21 March 1918, he was still far away from the creation of this independent army. During the first three months of 1918 only a few divisions could be considered as available for immediate action. On 26 March 1918 Foch was selected as the Supreme Allied Commander. Two days later, to solve immediate allied manpower problems and to check the German assault, General Pershing temporarily placed all American forces at the disposal of Supremo Foch. It was agreed that the availability of American troops would only last so long as was needed to check the German advance.This book deals with three lesser known battles fought by five divisions of the AEF that took place in the Champagne/Marne Region between the City of Reims and the Argonne Forest. The narrative includes actions of the 2nd, 36th, 42nd, 92nd and the 93rd Divisions. The latter two were made up of African-American troops.The five tours are ideal for visitors who have a few hours to spare coming from or going to the St. Mihiel, Meuse-Argonne and Verdun battlefields from one of Paris’s airports. They cover a lesser known area and each tour will not take more than a few hours. The starting points are all situated a little north of the A4, the Paris-Metz motorway. The tours also bridge the gap between the better known Chemin des Dames and Meuse-Argonne battlefields.

Predstavuje totiž činiteľ, ktorý podnikateľom umožňuje efektívnejšie využívať čas, sprostredkovane môže predstavovať jeden z faktorov vyššej konkurencieschopnosti, čím logicky zvyšuje účinnosť podnikania. Je teda možné konštatovať, že v drvivej väčšine nie je možné bez využívania automobilu v podnikateľskom prostredí úspešne dlhodobo pôsobiť. V prípadoch, keď používanie automobilu je priamo späté s výkonom podnikateľskej činnosti (t. j. doprava materiálu, osôb, zásobovanie obchodných prevádzok tovarom a pod.) je polemika o potrebe prevádzkovania dopravného prostriedku bezpredmetná. Používanie automobilu na výkon podnikateľskej činnosti alebo v súvislosti s podnikaním je však okrem iného neodlúčiteľne spätá aj s množstvom daňovo-účtovných problémov. Správne uplatnenie výdavkov na pohonné látky je najčastejšie sa vyskytujúca problematika v aplikačnej praxi podnikateľov v spomínanej oblasti.

Russia's Wagner Group


The ‘Wagner’ mercenary group remained comparatively unknown for years, and only after the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, did the general public learn about the existence of this shadowy organization. But for years before that, they roamed free in Africa and the Middle East, fighting Russia’s conflicts, protecting dictators and waging war against anyone who was declared to be the enemy of the Russian government. Many journalists have attempted to uncover Wagner’s secrets but, for the first time, we hear the voice of an actual Wagner commander, who participated in some of the organization’s operations. This is Igor Salikov, former Wagner commander and the most high-ranking Russian service member who testified against the Russian regime and its crimes in Ukraine for the International Criminal Court in Hague. Igor was not just a soldier, but a high ranking commander, which gave him a unique insight into the organization, structure, political goals and operational procedures of Wagner. The author witnessed the birth of the group and their first operations in Syria, which in 2018, saw and the first battle between US forces and Russians since the end of the Cold War. Later, Wagner infiltrated into other countries and was one of main assets of Russian armed forces in the war against Ukraine. In 2022, after the failure of the initial invasion of Ukraine, Wagner’s leader received an order to recruit directly from prisons, and convicted rapists, murderers and cannibals joined what once was a small and elite mercenary unit. In 2023, Wagner mercenaries attempted to organize a coup against Vladimir Putin but turned back at the last moment. Soon after, the leaders of the group were killed in an aircraft crash, and Wagner disappeared from the spotlight. This book allows us to look at this group through the eyes of someone who has been there, done that, and witnessed the entire history of the Wagner organization, from its origins to its ignominious end.

Adolf Hitler and the Art of Tyranny


Adolf Hitler may be history’s most notorious tyrant. Surely no one’s name is more often evoked to epitomize evil and the deliberate infliction of suffering on vulnerable individuals and group? hrough exceptional will and luck Hitler struggled up through the ranks of political power until he became Germany’s master. He then sought to dominate Europe. Determined to unite all German-speaking peoples in one nation, he embarked on a series of aggressions that culminated in a war that engulfed and devastated most of Europe and North Africa, and left tens of millions of people dead, maimed, or homeless. Along with his political opponents, he condemned Jews and other ‘inferior peoples’ as Germany’s enemies, and eventually had around six million of them arrested and systematically slaughtered. Adolf Hitler and the Art of Tyranny answers with depth and clarity three core questions. What made Hitler who he was; why did he do what he did; and what were the results? Many other questions radiate from these. For instance, how did Hitler get tyrannical power? Or why was the Third Reich destroyed after just a dozen years? Many more crucial questions and arrays of answers follow. Hitler, of course, did not act alone. He enthroned himself atop power pyramids that included the Nazi Party, government, military, secret police, industrial associations, religious institutions, and other social organizations. He commanded countless ‘willing executioners’ of his plans and orders. To a rational, knowledgeable person, Hitler’s mass appeal is puzzling. How could someone as histrionic, vulgar, shallow, bullying, and extreme as Hitler inspire such adoration and fanatical acts by millions of people?
