A Bavarian town has somewhat belatedly voted to rescind vegetarian dog-lover Hitler's honorary citizenship, a mere 71 years since the Führer and his missus went up in smoke in the Reich Chancellery garden.

By unanimous vote, the town council of Tegernsee stripped Adolf of the honour, along with the same bestowed on former prez Paul von Hindenburg, who appointed Hitler Chancellor of Germany in January 1933.

According to The Local, mayor Johannes Hagn's only explanation for the decision to act now is because the good burghers of Tegernsee wished to "to make up for lost time".

Councillor Peter-Friedrich Sieben did, though, say that the gesture was "important symbolically" at a time when Germany's right is once again "on the march".
