Funny what strangeness exists in the shadows of old laws...

It is a club rule.  Good that people overcome old personal conflicts.  It is a war between nations after all.

Corrected :D

Germans are great if they love WW2 jokes.

As serious are they are about it I highly doubt there are many who'd like WW2 jokes...

Unfortunately, there are enough who like WWII jokes ...
I am pretty serious about the whole thing, war in general, and I think jokes about such a serious topic are disgusting and inhuman.
I only can laugh about some Hitler jokes, but that's it.

That's the weird thing about old laws and rules that have not been updated. I mean, I believe its still technically illegal to have oral sex in some U.S. states. So I'm not surprised at hearing about some of these old stuff that time has forgotten.

While some jokes are obviously in bad taste(like everything on encyclopediadramatica) not everyone who does such jokes are sickos.
For some people the best way to deal with serious depressing things is to have a laugh about them. I'd rather see a small amount of people joke about things that aren't funny than see more suicide and extreme emoness in this world.

Doesn't work for me sadly. I get awfully offended by such jokes as well.
