The "old" Luftwaffe ceased to exist when the war ended. The Federal German Republic was constituted in 1949 and there's been a "new" Luftwaffe since 1956: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Air_Force |
Fine description.
But only the few MoD Transport Wing's a/c have the lettering "LUFTWAFFE" on the fuselage.
All other (tactical) a/c have the typical Luftwaffe-style individual markings.
