Google has apologized after its mapping service renamed a road in Berlin after Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
The intersection, usually called Theodor-Heuss-Platz, temporarily regained its Nazi-era nameAdolf-Hitler-Platz.
The area carried Hitlers name after he came to power in 1933 until the end of the Second World War.

Why does anyone apologize for an automatic action performed by a mindless set of programs acting on streams of data?
Why didn’t they just call it a glitch and avoid trouble altogether?

Of course Karl-Marx-Allee in Berlin is still there.
