Depends on how you keep them. If they are looked upon as revered relics, then yes the person is a bit scary. But i knew a few WWII vets, both passed now, who had some bring backs that were regarded as hunting trophies.

Depends entirely on the motivation, I agree.

I'm a little concerned about whoever it is that's buying "Collected Marching Songs of the SS" . . . and singing them, I suppose . . .

. . . but I know plenty of WWII memorabilia collectors (I happen to collect British militaria but I know plenty of guys who go after the German stuff) and I'd hate to think that they're all sadists, closet cases, and incipient Nazis. And of course my Dad brought back a ton of stuff, some of which we still have sitting around. He definitely thought of it as "spoils of war".
