Luftwaffe
The Luftwaffe was the aerial warfare branch of the German Wehrmacht during World War II. Germany's military air arms during the First World War, the Luftstreitkräfte of the Army and the Marine-Fliegerabteilung of the Navy, had been disbanded in 1920 as a result of the terms of the Treaty of Versailles which stated that Germany was forbidden to have any air force.
During the interwar period, German pilots were trained secretly in violation of the treaty at Lipetsk Air Base. With the rise of the Nazi Party and the repudiation of the Versailles Treaty, the Luftwaffe was established on 26 February 1935. The Luftwaffe's Condor Legion fought during the Spanish Civil War, the conflict became a testing ground for new doctrines and aircraft. As a result, the Luftwaffe grew to become one of the most sophisticated, technologically advanced and battle-experienced air forces in the world, when war began in Europe in 1939. By the summer of 1939, the Luftwaffe had twenty-eight Geschwaders (wings).

German Air Force
The German Air Force (German: Luftwaffe (German pronunciation: [ˈlʊftvafə]), the German-language generic term for air force) is the aerial warfare branch of the Bundeswehr, the armed forces of Germany. With a strength of 28,508 personnel (30 November 2015), it is the fourth largest air force within the European Union, after the air forces of the United Kingdom, France and Italy. Although its budget has been significantly reduced since the end of the Cold War in 1989/90, the Luftwaffe is still among the best-equipped air forces of the world, although it currently suffers from high levels of aircraft unserviceability.
The German Air Force (as part of the Bundeswehr) was founded in 1956 during the era of the Cold War as the aerial warfare branch of the armed forces of then West Germany. After the reunification of West and East Germany in 1990, it integrated parts of the air force of the former German Democratic Republic, which itself had been founded in 1956 as part of the National People's Army. There is no organizational continuity between the current Luftwaffe of the Bundeswehr and the former Luftwaffe of the Wehrmacht combined forces founded in 1935, which was completely disbanded in 1945/46 after World War II. The term Luftwaffe that is used for both the historic and the current German air force is the German-language generic designation of any air force, thus not establishing a link between the two forces.

Kronostory
by: LuftwaffeWrithe and cry as useless dogs, Having reached your
tether's end.
Decimate the common, for the common good.
It sickens to see all we have seen, mediocrity burns to
the ground.
The ink of perdition blots you out.
Solipsist Nation stamps you out.
Slathering animals to be put down.
The dish of your being licks itself clean.
All the failings of man, our patience is at an end.
We rewrite your sacred tomes, even god forgets who you
were.
Dabis Improbe Poenas!
Pray to the cross on the wall, but you will die for you
sins.
God may have written the book of life,
But we have written the end.
So few have been called along this way,
Only us you have never been.
The ink of perdition blots you out.
Solipsist Nation stamps you out.
Slathering animals to be put down.
The dish of your being licks itself clean.
All the failings of man, your history is at an end.
Your life and your lies aborted, you never were.
