As a German, I don't see the point of this. Luftwaffe literally means air weapon. This is like saying there shouldn't be a US army because 'army' is the name the confederation used for it's forces. It's not like Germany has a Schutzstaffel any more.

I would much rather have had denazification, but of course neither happened so...yay?

You could use a synonym like Luftstreitkräfte (or Luftstreitkraft, German Wikipedia seems to use both singular and plural and it's clear to me which one is correct) like the other comment suggests. To me, it just seems weird to still use the same terms as the Nazis, but it makes sense considering the whole ”no denazification” thing, I guess.

there shouldn't be a US army

I agree.

anakin-padme-2 You just mean the word army, right?

In GDR it was Luftstreitkräfte, for example.
