The name of the German Air Force has been "Luftwaffe" since 1935, and
remains this today.  (The Army and Navy, however, WERE renamed, and twice
- -- once by Weimar and again by the BRD.)

Berning made "Luftwaffe-Robots" into the 1960's or '70's, though I believe
that the engravings dropped off around 1960.
