In the wake of the destruction caused by World War II, the fledgling German state was initially prohibited from engaging in any form of military aviation. Ten years after the end of the war, however, this changed when the Western Allies sought to integrate (West) Germany into the newly formed NATO to counter the growing threat posed by the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact. Thus, the Luftwaffe was officially established on January 9, 1956—70 years ago. In 2026, the Luftwaffe celebrates this significant anniversary with, among other things, a special logo on various aircraft. The 70th-anniversary logo also adorns this A321neo, which is used for long-distance transport of personnel and supplies, as well as in the medical evacuation role. ,In the wake of the destruction caused by World War II, the fledgling German state was initially prohibited from engaging in any form of military aviation.
