Luftwaffe A310 Multi Role Tanker Transport

Hi guys,

Sorry I've joined this forum to get a bit of info on something I saw this morning.

I'm from South Africa and have always been a huge war of pretty much every war, favourites being WW2 and the Cold War.

Now this morning at about 9am I saw a Luftwaffe A310 MRTT here at one of our airports in Cape Town... The name of the plane was August Euler. It had a full crew in uniform and left the airport a few hours afterwards.

As far as I know, the Luftwaffe was disbanded in 1946 after WW2 so seeing this plane has confused me a bit.

I was wandering if anyone here maybe knows what they are up to and if you can maybe explain why they are active here?
