Summary
While discussions of English tend to treat examples like pre- and post-war as a matter of coordination, German studies of parallel examples tend to treat them as matters of deletion under identity. The two different approaches give rise to different insights, though neither is perfect. The relevant constructions involve both derivatives and compounds, but constraints are hard to pin down.
