Legit, I have a teenager in the family heavily into it, and it is worrying. Are there any good articles on how to handle this specific thing gracefully?

yeah, ww2 history is really interesting lol, it's more a yellow flag than a red flag

Yup. A guy I know was a big WW2 nerd. Also openly gay. Sometimes people just like historic stuff.
