    This is why that German waffle chain, Luftwaffles went broke in the 1940s.

      To be honest a lot of German brands collaborated or directly worked with the Nazis are still in business today like most german car manufacturers for example. Dr. Oetker comes to mind also.

        Not only German brands, there are plenty of US corporations that built and supported the German war machine. There were production sites in Germany that were not bombed because they were insured by US companies. WTF!

      Waffe = weapon

      Waffel = waffle

      Luftwaffe literally means aerial weapon. But an accurate translation would be air force obviously.

        Feels like someone translating “Air Force” into “sky push”

          Exactly. Literal translations while sometimes interesting are often misleading.
