Because Germans speak.. a different language? "Luftwaffe" is not a proper noun, it's German for "Air Forces."
Personally, I would've just changed the name to something that wasn't used by the Nazis if I was in charge of West Germany after the war ๐ค
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?
