I understand that Japan's youth displays a lot of Hitler and Nazi stuff. Not that they're Nazis or haters, they just think it's funny or something? Kinda like clueless American kids sporting Che Guevera shirts and posters?
Not really, it's also seen as a weird thing done by loners to them. One of the most famous animes in recent times, Overlord, features a WW2-based german character with manerisms and speech reminiscent of a SS officer. Every time they're on screen, the main character nearly dies of embarassment.
Ah! Maybe not Japan then. I was thinking of this link posted below:
