Don't know about the rest of the commenters here, but Hetalia is about *military* fuckups more than the civilian tragedies of WWII (and other eras in general), and that's why the holocaust or the atomic bombings are hardly mentioned. It's not making it "more okay" as much as the comic recognizes that some jokes are classified as "TOO SOON, *TOO SOON!!*", which I dig a lot. It has it's own brand of respect for history.

That's what's confusing me about it, though, is that civilian tragedies or military fuckups, people still died either way, right?

Yes, but there's a reason WWII was seen as a war unlike any other before it, because so much of the deaths were civilians on a massive scale. While people DO still die either way, there's a separation between military (where the risks are known to you) and innocent stander-bys (people who have nothing to do with the frontlines in an immediate sense). So making jokes about military failures in APH (like, say, the premise it's based on: how Italy was a military burden on Germany more than anything else) versus making jokes of the holocaust (which is *not funny* no matter how you slice it), it makes an immense difference.

I don't think it's farfetched or unreasonable that most people make the distinction between military vs civilian tragedies. Just ask around, you'll find people do separate it. Whether this is sick or stupid or heartless or just plain human is up to the individual to decide.
