Surrender by Cheap Trick. I know it has something to do with WW2, but what exactly is going on?

Here's one page of discussions:

But here's an interview with the band:

And another with a quote from songwriter/guitarist Rick Neilsen:
" think ‘Surrender’ is timeless because every kid thinks their parents are nuts, no matter what the generation is."

It's more about telling kids that their parents have been there, done that, and they know what it's like. Parents recognize you are growing up and going down your own path, but you should also recognize their insights are based on experiences.
Everyone thinks their own parents are a little weird...
