Does Luftwaffe mean Air Force, or does it mean Hitler's Air Force?

It means Air Force. Luft = Air. Waffe = Weapon.

Hitler no longer owns it. Today's Luftwaffe has a website, luftwaffe.de, just like af.mil.

In fact, looking at those two air force’s websites, I’d almost hazard a guess they’d hired the same web design firm.

Thanks bro. I kind of knew all that. I was just trying to see if that other guy knew it. I ran into tons of German Luftwaffe (Air Force ) pilots, when I was in the USAF.
I wonder how that wench would have reacted if I wore a T shirt, with the American Eagle on it, with the words "Air Force" under it? Maybe she is a communist, and would have reacted the same way. Who knows for sure?
