Don't tire yourself out if you don't enjoy it.

"... Sadly too many people do enjoy it, and revel in the their actions, machinery, and arrogance. A regime that was responsible for millions upon millions of deaths. Enjoy your warm n fuzzy feeling when you see a swastika"
Flypaper 2222, why do you visit this thread? Why do you visit this site? To call people Nazi? To pick a fight?
Enjoy your virtue signalling.

Comedy can be selective.
There is nothing funny about scenes of destruction and devastation, or bodies or injured/wounded people of any nationality.

on the other hand
Cries out for some levity so we can process the more serious images without getting too depressed to continue.
There are many pictures here that I don't 'enjoy' but find interesting and help to understand the effects of war.
Many soldiers, police, firemen and medical workers indulge in "black" humor that bystanders don't understand in order to deal with their jobs.
 
... remarkable about WW2 is the frequency with which German soldiers carried excellent 35mm Leica cameras with them everywhere (Germany, while rationed, still was not on total-war economic footing till 1943) ... film was sent from home in care packages and returned the same way ... the number of "happy snaps" is amazing ... some posed for the mantle shelf back home .. some humorous ... some intended to illustrate the conditions in which life was going on ... and lastly many to celebrate the eternal bond of comradeship.
It is these photos that touch me greatly because they are from the heart ... serious ... playful ... sarcastic ... from the HUMAN heart.
