Because that is the labels that are most recognizable to readers here, also they are referred to as Norse gods in Deities and Demigods. Too bad they never published a Deities and Demigods book for 4th and 5th edition D&D, they prefer to use Forgotten Realms or Grayhawk or Krynn deities, but I like the ones from our legends better, they have tales associated with them that weren't written by modern authors, I enjoyed reading the Odyssey for example. The gods from our history have real depth to them, they have relationships, and they aren't just the god of this or the god of that. Real human beings one time worshipped these gods, which makes them excellent subjects for a homebrew campaign world, instead of having to make up a god from scratch, you just pull one out of the Deities and Demigods book and use that. Its fun to stat them out too. There is a tendency for modern writers to make gods omnipotent and all powerful, because they are heavily influenced by the major faiths of our world today. But pagan gods are more fun to play around with in role playing games.
By the way, are you saying that the Germans wouldn't want to form their own kingdom? Christianity didn't create Germany after all, and considering their history in World War II, it didn't tend to influence them all that much anyway.
