Why would it be cool? its a disgrace to the millions of people killed.

You don`t think it would have been pretty awe inspiring to see something like that?

Perhaps you might prefer to watch the V day parade?

I've seen people cosplaying as ISIS, just to mock them. None has a problem with that.

Honestly almost nothing from the 20th century beats national-socialist imagery.

It's still taboo only because of the horrendous Holocaust atrocities against the Jews are still somewhat fresh in some people's memory, but give it another 50 years and Hitler and the nazis will be just as cool as people's fascination for Hannibal, the Roman emperors, Alexander the Great, Richard Lionheart, Henry VIII of England, tsar Peter the Great and Napoleon (except in Germany where it could take a few decades longer).

Books will be written, and movies and TV-series will be made where even his romantic escapades will be glorified and this mysterious, enigmatic and fascinating leader, Adolf Hitler, truly the most inspiring, epic and powerful leader of Germanic history, will be portrayed in a totally different light than today.

Heil, mein Führer!

Do you think all the movies about WW2 is a disgrace as well?  Or games for that matter.

only if its shown in the real historical context or without glorification of nazism. Why do have these schoolchildren a fetish for mass murders?

I don't see any fetish over it. I would call it bad taste at best. Though without context there is not much to say. Some people there may have a fetish, some may hate it.

Germans replied by releasing this video as an example how to handle other countries past atrocities and mass-murderers in a meanigful way:

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Trust me when I say that Chinese people don't care either way when it came to Nazi Germany or the Jewish people, their hate is more concentrated towards the Japanese during the WW2 era. So they don't understand what it represents to the western world, much like most people from the West don't give a flying fuck about the turmoils in Asia during certain times.
