Adolf Hitler has been removed from the list of honoured citizens in the Bavarian town of Lindau, 72 years after the Nazi dictator rose to power, a member of the municipal council said.
The council voted unanimously at a meeting Tuesday to remove Hitler's name, councilman Alexander Kiss told AFP.
The elected officials agreed it was "absurd" to keep Hitler on an honour roll.
The city became aware that Hitler's name was still on the list during a project to create a plaque with the names of distinguished citizens.
Lindau is located on Lake Constance near Switzerland and Austria.
Hitler was born in Austria and it was in Bavaria that he first built up the Nazi political power base.

Wow! Does this mean that people might start to consider Stalin, Pol Pot, Idi Amin and a bunch of other "progressives" as BAD?!!
Dare I hope that Che, Castro, Mao and others might also be consigned to the ash heap of history?
No. They will continue to be worshipped on American campuses for decades.

nice quote, too bad about the source
I need to get my eyes checked again. I thought the headline said "Hillary."
Austria's greatest triumph was convincing the world that Hitler was a German.
