Reverence for the slaughtered innocents of World War II is appropriate.
Making a mockery of Hitler is also appropriate. In the end he was just a pathetic clown who sleazed his way into power.
Some of the best humor comes from communities with histories of unimaginable persecution.
Think Mel Brooks' movie The Producers and the absolutely hysterical chorus
Springtime for Hitler.
YouTube - Springtime for Hitler
By laughing at the wonderfully absurd proposition that Hitler would be upset that Miss DR lost to Miss Venezuela we mock Hitler.
Sixty four years after he blew his own brains out we keep alive the memory of what he did and we remember that in the end
he failed.
The movie the clip was taken from shows the pathos of the final days in the bunker as the Russians were closing in.
At the end of the clip Hitler finally gets it and says "Der Krieg ist verloren. Tun sie was sie vollen." The war is lost do what you want.
The command staff scatters to the winds many of them to be hunted down by Simon Wiesenthal and other nazi hunters over the next 60 years.
