They could have called the Waffen SS panzergrenadiers they are but that'll invite controversies..

Well Sturmgrenadier, Waffengrenadier or something would have been much better than "Obersoldaten"....
Translated it means Uppersoldier and "Ober" also means waiter in German ^^

Yeah that I found as an odd name too. Why not UBERSOLDATEN!

Obersoldaten?! That's a very strange, unhistorical and ugly name for these troops...
I asked a German friend to explain it to me in his words. He told me there was no direct English translation, but that "Obersoldaten" meant "high ranking soldiers" or that they were "more important soldiers". Our closest English equivalent would probably be "Veteran Soldiers". So with that in mind, Obersoldaten doesn't sound like such a strange choice.

In figurative sense your friend is right because it means "Supersoldiers" which often are veterans . But as a description for a military unit it is awkward and unfitting.

Please a mod with real SS names... Who the hell is going to turn nazi one morning because he saw this in a game.
As many as the ones who become plumbers looking for gold in sewers after playing Super Mario.
Also, its not about that.
Its about anything SS related(including "just names") is banned in half of europe countries as well as Australia, which would result in game ban in these countries.
You know, I can play sniper elite in gemrans, but I can't play sniper elite nazi zombie army due to ban because of ss/nazi in the title.
Its not like Relic never went creative when it comes to units or names in the past(hell, they were allowed to create a whole new unit for Warhammer 40k Dawn of War 1&2 because it suited the game better then what original IP offered, I'm talking Force Commander here).

I know that it's not the relic fault, but it's those stupid laws i'm criticizing.

It was even more awkward in CoH1, Knights Cross Holders anyone?

Which doesn't really explain why they named these veterans such, but at least the name itself is not complete fantasy.

Not really, the Knight's Cross can be awarded to any soldier, irregardless of army section. It has no reference to the Waffen-SS specifically.
The very same holds for "Obersoldat". It is an acknowledged (WW2) Wehrmacht rank as well as Waffen-SS rank, thereby not necessarily related to the Waffen-SS.

She told me that Obersoldaten was a word and that it meant "Super Soldiers".

I know what a Knights Cross is. I was talking about the CoH1 unit though:
