Above all, he notes down his ultimate coaching tricks. What happens in Volume 1: Hands off! Top secret! The game against Ludwigsbrück is coming up, the fearful opponent of the team Tim coaches. They have a real secret weapon: the so-called pudding bomber, with the hardest shot in the league! Tim really needs good tactics and already writes his ideas for the next game in his diary in the bathroom in the morning. Here, even the toothbrushes in the cup inspire him to a certain lineup. Tim has an idea of what tactics he can use to stop him. But will it work in the big game? And of course, there's our ace striker, who is supposed to give tips for the big game. How can they stop this pudding bomber? Fortunately, the two have worked out a tactic, which Tim communicates to his team and which is also adjusted again in the game. A coach has to be flexible. And in the end, of course, the decisive goal falls for Hegenwald, Tim's team. They have won the big game. Tim, of course, records everything in his diary! • For all soccer-loving children and fans of Greg's Diary and Ace Striker • Funny and fast-paced narration • Illustrated in black-and-white by Dominik Rupp
Deutschland im Herbst: Palästinensische Terroristen bringen am 13. Oktober 1977 die Lufthansa-Maschine »Landshut« unter ihre Kontrolle. Bewaffnet mit Pistolen, Handgranaten und Sprengstoff, wollen sie die Freilassung inhaftierter RAF-Mitglieder erzwingen. Nach 106 Stunden, in denen die Geiseln Bedrohung und Todesangst ausstehen mussten, gelingt es der Spezialeinheit »Grenzschutzgruppe 9«, die Entführer auf dem Flughafen von Mogadischu zu überwältigen. Doch wie erlebten die 90 Frauen, Männer und Kinder ihre Geiselhaft? Was wurde aus ihnen, nachdem sie aus dem Blitzlicht der Weltöffentlichkeit verschwunden waren? Wie haben die Erlebnisse in der Maschine, in der Flugkapitän Jürgen Schumann vor aller Augen erschossen wurde, ihr weiteres Leben bestimmt? Martin Rupps erzählt erstmals die Geschichte der Überlebenden von Mogadischu, deren Bemühen um materielle Entschädigung zum Spießrutenlauf geriet. Er hat mit vielen Geiseln und mit Angehörigen gesprochen und zahlreiche bislang nicht zugängliche Unterlagen der Opfer, der Bundesregierung und der Lufthansa ausgewertet. Sein Buch berichtet von erfolgreichen und gescheiterten Bemühungen, das Trauma »Mogadischu« zu bewältigen – und von der Hilflosigkeit von Angehörigen, Ärzten und den staatlichen Behörden, mit den Opfern angemessen umzugehen. Rupps erzählt die bisher unbekannte Geschichte der »Landshut«-Entführung: persönlich und voller Abgründe.
