Luftwaffe

Where it comes from
Unadapted borrowing from German Luftwaffe (literally “an air-weapon”).
proper noun
- The German air force, especially during the Second World War. Politicians insist that lockdown under coronavirus is like the experience of wartime. It’s not – except in one way, which I’ll come to. It’s so quiet, for one thing. War is noisy. Sirens, soldiers tramping past singing, Luftwaffe engines in the night sky.
