I would guess because it sounds badass. And BMW used to make planes.
Agreed. This is why people can be ignorant, their high-school history books identify the Luftwaffe as something evil to be associated with Nazis, while subjectively telling of how the fire bombs dropped on Dresden by the USAF was completely justified.

Use your mind people, everything is not relative.
