Not sure enjoy is the right word for this photo !!
Indeed.
Photographs showing the stark reality and the horrors of war certainly have their place in collecting. Actually, they have quite an important place, because they remind us of what war actually means. Used as we all are to artistic studio portraits of smartly dressed officers, cheerful snapshots of soldiers on leave, heroic propaganda images by war correspondents and flashy press photographs of spectacular parades, we could forget this all too easily.
Thus, we should appreciate such grisly photographs for what they are and what they tell us. But to enjoy them?

Re: Post your SS photographs
I'll go out on a limb here and take a guess at that the "enjoy" part simply came out the wrong way/was not meant literally... That's a truly horrible/sobering image to say the least.

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
