Berlin Square Named 'Adolf Hitler Platz' On Google Maps

[jakeXT]

A square in the German capital of Berlin was temporally misnamed after Adolf Hitler on Google Maps.

Netizens taking to Google's mapping service to find their way around Berlin were in for a shock after seeing the large roundabout circling the Blue Obelisk monument in the western Charlottenburg district baring the name of the Nazi dictator.

...

Built in the early 1900s as Reichskanzlerplatz, it was renamed after the infamous Nazi dictator as he came to power in 1933 before reprising its original name after Hitler's demise in 1945.

In 1963 city authorities decided to dedicate the square to Theodor Heuss, Germany's first federal president of Germany.
