Haaretz: Hitler's birthplace revokes dictator's honorary citizenship

Braunau town council's decision to remove Hitler from list of honorary citizens largely due to increasing media pressure, follows similar moves in other Austrian communities.

Adolf Hitler's Austrian birthplace of Braunau confirmed Friday that it had removed the German dictator from its list of honorary citizens.

A successful vote to strip Hitler of this honor in Amstetten ended in a scandal when two far-right Freedom Party councilmen abstained, arguing it was unnecessary because the Nazi dictator was dead.

Three other cities stripped Hitler of honors due to media pressure.
