Mt Hitler - how did that end up on Google Earth?

[The] mayor of Bad Toelz, south of Munich, said the peak near the Bavarian town had been known as Mount Hitler for a short time during the Third Reich but had been given back its original name of Heigelkopf after World War II."
Google's response:
Google Germany spokesman Stefan Keuchel said the Hitler name had appeared due to a "technical accident."
Look like some neo-Nazi employed by Google (either that or a teenage prankster) will be getting the boot.
