The word "Rasse", speaking abt Nazi germany shld be enough to let this title off this thread.

Typically it means race.
But not in this case.
German speakers correct me if I am wrong but Fliegerasse just means flying aces.
The correct translation would be Flieger+asse=flying aces, not Fliege+rasse= race of flies
Again, is been a long time since I spoke any german, so correct me if Im wrong but I don't think I am!

As CWMV said, it just means 'aces'.

Fliegerasse der Luftwaffe = Aces of the Luftwaffe.
