===Post war re-creation===
It was not until 1955 that the Luftwaffe was recreated in West Germany. Former members of the WW2 era Luftwaffe were brought together to plan the formation of a new air force. The creation of a post war Luftwaffe was the result of the heightened tensions of the [[Cold War]]. The [[German Democratic Republic|East German]] authorities created the '''Luftstreitkräfte''' of the NVA (National People's Army) during the same period.
