It is similar to western people who are joking about samurais, harakiri, seppuko, kamikaze...

"We" and "they" have a different connection to these things.

In europe you learn that the nazis have been bad guys. In japan you only learn about the overall facts, but way less that you have to hate them.

They like the uniforms (a lot of people like uniforms, so why not), they like the swastika (harmless in buddhism), the like the marching and military parades. The million slaughtered people is not the first thing they have in mind if they think about the nazis.

And last but not least, german is often considered as cool there, so they just like the past too.
