If it were just a word in a foreign language, then yes, italicize it.

But the word has been well known and used in English for about 70 years, and English is very flexible when it comes to stealing words from other languages. I'd say that — though it have begun life as a Deutsche abkurtzung (German abbreviation) — by now it can be considered an English word stolen from German, like sauerkraut, Volkswagen, and hamburger.
